Build a business you enjoy — and profit from

Looking for a business you can build from the ground up, with national support and strong industry demand?

The Installation Company (TIC) is seeking practical, hands-on operators who are ready to take the next step into business ownership.

As a TIC franchisee, you'll run your own installation business, delivering professional signage and branding installations for local sign and print companies.

This opportunity is ideal for someone with strong practical skills and a "get-it-done" attitude. With proven systems, comprehensive training, and ongoing support behind you, you'll have everything you need to build a successful business of your own.

If you're looking for a pathway into business ownership with growth potential, TIC could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

What You'll Be Doing

As a TIC franchisee, you'll operate your own mobile installation business, helping sign and print companies bring projects to life safely, professionally, and on time.

Our service offering includes:

  • Sign Installation
  • Sign Maintenance
  • Site Surveys

  • De-Imaging & Rebranding
  • Painting & Surface Preparation

No two days are the same. One day you might be installing signage for a local business, the next you could be supporting a brand rollout, carrying out a site survey, or completing ongoing maintenance work for an existing client.

Who We're Looking For

TIC franchisees typically come from the signage industry or related building and trade backgrounds, bringing practical skills and and a strong understanding of working safely and professionally on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before taking the plunge into business ownership, it’s only natural to have a few questions.

We’re here to make the decision-making process simple. Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about franchising, and what it means to be part of the TIC network.

If there’s anything else you’d like to know, don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’re happy to help.

Why should I choose a TIC franchise instead of starting my own business from scratch?

Starting a business on your own can be risky — there are no proven systems, no expert support, and every process has to be built from the ground up. With a franchise like The Installation Company (TIC), you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

You’ll step into a proven business model with established systems for hiring, training, sales, and service delivery — so you can focus on building your business, not building the foundation.

From day one, you’ll receive comprehensive training, ongoing operational support, and access to national marketing and client networks — giving you a real head start in a growing industry.
