About Us
Our History
Assisting Entrepreneurs to Achieve Their Dreams
There’s real satisfaction in running a business that helps other businesses grow — and that’s exactly what our
brands are about. We provide complete branding solutions, including signage, displays, uniforms, branded apparel, and promotional products.
Business Franchise Group is the company behind trusted brands: Speedy Signs and EmbroidMe.
Our journey began in 1998 with the pilot Speedy Signs store in Penrose, Auckland. Just two years later, we began franchising — and today, Speedy Signs is approaching 30 locations across New Zealand.
In 2006, responding to the growing demand for custom uniforms and workwear, we launched EmbroidMe, which now operates in multiple centres nationwide.
The commitment of our business owners, supported by a dedicated franchise team, has played an important role in the continued growth of our brands. As a proudly NZ-owned company, we place strong value on our culture and the relationships we build.

Franchisee Satisfaction
Periodically, our franchise owners participate in an independent satisfaction survey conducted by Franchise Relationships Institute.
The survey uses several measures of satisfaction important to franchise owners.
