Discover Your Pathway to Owning a Printing Franchise

NEW BUSINESS CENTER PATHWAY

This pathway allows you the opportunity to start your printing franchise opportunity from scratch. It may seem like a daunting task, but in today’s digital/web-based environment, we utilize the latest technologies in marketing to drive leads to you and your customer’s business. You do not need to lease a huge space, purchase and maintain lots of equipment, or even have large teams to handle daily operations with our franchise business opportunity — we’ve got you covered

Our latest new center design represents the lowest possible investment with the highest possible return – a winning combination for new Business Center Owners.

TRANSFER CENTER PATHWAY

We’ve been around a while, having just celebrated our 50th anniversary, so naturally, sometimes our existing AlphaGraphics centers go up for sale. When this happens, we often look to newly interested entrepreneurs to see if they’re interested in purchasing our existing businesses for sale. We’ll help every step of the way from template “buy-sell” agreements, valuation resources, business planning, Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA’s), funding, and more.

There are pros and cons to buying an existing printing franchise versus building our newest design model with the latest equipment recommendations, but the pros of owning a printing franchise, no matter how it’s acquired, far outweigh the cons. Some pros:

1. An existing franchise will be well-known in their market, making it easy for you to hit the ground running.
2. You’ll get the training and support you need to operate the franchise, especially if you acquire the employees who’d already been working at the location.
3. This opportunity is a great example of how franchises have lower risks of failure. Opening up your own business has it’s major cons, by acquiring an existing one, you are avoiding those risks altogether.

                                                     

ACQUIRE AND CONVERT (A/C) CENTER PATHWAY

With the increase in advancements in technology and marketing, the rise in competition, and the unprecedented effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, there may be existing independent print/marketing shops that can’t keep up and are looking to sell. We’ll help identify opportunities in your area. If there is a mutual interest amongst the seller, you, and AlphaGraphics, we’ll assist with many of the same tools and resources to convert business under the Transfer pathway.

How it works:

1. You purchase an independent business (print, copy, or marketing services).
2. You convert the business to an AlphaGraphics printing franchise, with our help.
3. You start marketing to your local area and begin your journey as an AG small business franchise!

There are currently many financial incentives in place in our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) that you may be eligible for as well.

CONVERSION CENTER PATHWAY

Rapid changes in the industry in the areas of technology, marketing, competition, training, social media, and more have left many independent print/marketing shops struggling for sales and profits. If you are one of those existing businesses and you’re looking to take advantage of the many resources and support of an award-winning franchise like AlphaGraphics, and remain as the owner, this business opportunity may be just the right fit.
