Want to enter the world of entrepreneurship without the struggles of building from scratch? Our MatchMaker Program connects aspiring business owners with established signage and graphics centers, making it easier to get started.
The Image360 MatchMaker Program provides a unique entryway into the visual communications industry. Rather than beginning with a brand-new venture, you’ll acquire a pre-existing business complete with an established customer base, experienced staff, and community reputation. Our full-time Mergers & Acquisition Team will leverage our proprietary database to help you identify, negotiate and acquire an independent sign company and then convert it to an Image360 Center.
