No matter how you start, you’re not starting alone
Whether you’re buying an established resale franchise or opening a brand-new location, one thing is certain: with Express, you get the same comprehensive support from day 1. Our team, systems and resources are designed to help every Franchise Owner ramp up quickly, stabilize operations and grow with confidence.
Full support, proven systems, real growth
At Express, support isn’t an optional perk, it’s the foundation of how every owner succeeds. From your first onboarding call to ongoing field coaching, you’ll have a dedicated team guiding you through every stage of ownership.
Every owner, resale or new, gets:
• Full onboarding and training curriculum that builds confidence and consistency.
• Dedicated field and coaching team focused on your growth goals.
• Marketing playbooks, creative assets and national brand halo to boost visibility.
• Proven tech stack, operating procedures and KPI dashboards for clear insights.
• Peer network, regional meetings and best-practice sharing to learn from top performers.
• Compliance guidance and vendor partnerships that keep your business on track.
Whether you purchase a resale franchise or open a new location, the Express corporate team powers your ramp-up and helps prepare you for the long-term.
Resale starts with a smart transition plan
Buying a resale means you’re stepping into a business with an existing client base, staff and brand presence. That can speed up your path to cash flow, but it also requires smart transitions. Express has built-in systems to help you manage that handoff seamlessly.
Here’s what you can expect:
• Structured transition plan for ownership changes, including client and staff communications and brand continuity checklists.
• Business audit and 90-day stabilization plan to retain and grow legacy accounts.
• Training tailored to your inherited book of business, your local team, and your market.
• Due diligence and evaluation tools to help you assess financials, local demand and growth potential before you buy.
In short, you’ll have the confidence to make informed decisions and hit the ground running.
How we help new owners start strong
Launching a new Express location is exciting, and you won’t do it alone. Our proven launch program and market-entry playbook provide a clear roadmap. With an initial investment starting at $132,000 and new offices averaging more than $1 million* in sales in their first 12 months, you’ll be positioned for strong early returns.
“If you’re thinking about buying an Express franchise know that you’re going to get all the support that you need to start a business from training and ongoing support. If you don’t have a staffing background don’t worry. You’ll get again all of the support that you need to be successful.”
– Zach Daffin, Franchise Owner
