Have you ever dreamed of turning your skills into something greater? If you dream of building a business that reflects your purpose, fuels your income, and gives back to your community, now may be the time to make it happen.
For experienced professionals in sales or client services, owning a staffing agency franchise offers the chance to step into something bigger. You already know how to build relationships and deliver results. What if you could use those strengths to not only earn more, but own your outcomes?
Use your time to create income and impact
Your time is valuable. And when spent on the right activities, it becomes a powerful driver of income and influence. Owning a staffing franchise allows you to focus on what truly moves the needle: connecting with employers, identifying top talent, and filling roles quickly and efficiently.
This focus on high-value work doesn’t just benefit clients and job seekers. It directly contributes to your bottom line through repeat business, referrals, and stronger monthly billings. When your time is invested in placements, results follow — professionally and financially.
True work-life balance
Imagine leading a business that aligns with your values and supports your lifestyle. As a Franchise Owner with Express Employment Professionals, you have the freedom to create a schedule that works for you, while making a tangible difference in your community.
Whether your goal is to have more flexibility for your family or to make an impact in your local economy, this opportunity lets you choose how you spend your time. You’re in charge and your hard work builds something meaningful. Owning a business doesn’t have to come at the expense of balance. The Express business model actually makes it possible. With strong corporate support, easy-to-use systems and help managing back-office tasks, you can build your business while also enjoying the freedom to focus on what matters most: family, personal goals and your community.

Grow local businesses and your revenue
When you own a staffing agency franchise, you’re not just filling positions. You’re solving real hiring challenges for local businesses and becoming a trusted partner along the way. These aren’t one-off interactions. They’re the foundation of long-term relationships that lead to ongoing contracts, multi-role placements, and renewals. As your partnerships grow deeper, so does your revenue. By building a client base that delivers consistent value over time, you have more time invest in your community, which allows your business to thrive.
Focus on growth, not just operations
One of the key advantages of the Express model is that you’re never building alone. With a proven system behind you, you can spend less time managing back-office operations and more time driving growth.
Instead of getting stuck in day-to-day admin, you can lead your team, focus on sales strategy, develop partnerships, and expand your outreach. Express provides the training and support so you can concentrate on what you do best: leading, selling, and scaling your business.

How much does a staffing agency franchise cost?
A new Express location has an initial investment range of $131,000 to $213,700. Compared to other franchise concepts this is a lower start-up cost thanks to the low overhead needed to open and run the office. But this isn’t just about starting lean — it’s also about scaling fast. New Express offices average just over $1M in annual sales in their first 12 months, setting the stage for strong returns as the business grows. Territories open at least two years have achieved $5.3M in average sales in 2024.*
Make a community impact
On average, an Express office places about 600 job seekers in meaningful employment each year. That’s hundreds of lives improved and a community that begins to thrive through opportunity and economic impact.
And it doesn’t stop there. Your presence in the community builds reputation. That reputation drives awareness. And that awareness brings in more clients and job seekers, creating a cycle of growth, success, and service. The more people you help, the more your office grows.
Are you ready to build something for yourself?
If you’re ready to take control of your career, invest in your community, and finally earn the income and independence you deserve, it may be time to explore the opportunity of owning an Express staffing agency franchise.
You have the experience. You’ve built the skills. Now you can build a business that rewards you fully for both.
