Fastsigns International, the American franchisor of Fastsigns and Australian brand Signwave, has been awarded the ‘Best-in-Category Award’ by the Franchise Business Review for the fourth consecutive year.

The company was also ranked 5th on the FBR 50 – Franchisee Satisfaction Awards list of the top 50 franchises with 200 or more units.

The awards are based on independent surveys of franchisees from over 400 leading franchise brands representing nearly 100,000 franchisees across North America.

Training and support, system quality issues, franchisor relationships, financial opportunity and overall satisfaction were all elements of the survey.

“The entire team at Fastsigns International is focused on our franchisees’ unit economics and profitability,” said Catherine Monson, CEO of Carrollton, Texas-based Fastsigns International.

“We know that our success and their success are intertwined; we are pleased that our commitment to provide valuable and substantive support is reflected both in the success of our franchisees and their satisfaction with our service and support.”
