MATCHMAKER™
At Allegra Network, we help our franchisees
purchase an existing independent printing or
sign business and then we help them re-brand,
diversify and re-position them.
This is Unique to Allegra
The businesses our Allegra franchisees operate provide
graphic communications and marketing solutions to
small and medium sized businesses. The sale occurs
at the customer’s place of business.
Allegra is a Business to Business franchise model
