About Us
Our History
Assisting Entrepreneurs to Achieve Their Dreams
There’s a lot of satisfaction that comes from running a business that helps other businesses grow their sales. That’s what our brands are all about... offering complete branding solutions that include everything from signs, displays, uniforms, custom embroidery, screen printing and promotional products.
Business Franchise Group is the franchisor for the Speedy Signs and EmbroidMe brands. We began in New Zealand with our pilot Speedy Signs store in Penrose, Auckland in 1998 and started franchising two years later. Since then Speedy Signs has expanded to a further 26 locations across the country.
In 2006, with the explosion in the branded apparel industry, we did the same thing with EmbroidMe and there are currently 15 locations in New Zealand.

Locally Owned & Operated
We are a locally owned company and we plan on staying that way. Our success has been contributed to by the collective effort of great business owners plus a support team that devotes themselves to superior service and excellence.

Franchisee Satisfaction
Every three years 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.
