Territory Protection

FASTSIGNS offers territory protection to its franchisees, ensuring that each franchisee has an exclusive area where no other FASTSIGNS center can operate. This protected territory is typically defined by specific geographic boundaries, such as a certain radius around the franchise location or designated zip codes. 

The goal of territory protection is to prevent market saturation and allow franchisees to maximize their business potential within their designated area. This protection allows franchisees to build their customer base and grow their business without the concern of direct competition from another FASTSIGNS franchise in their vicinity.
