18 Months "Better Than Cash*"- Conserve Your Nest Egg™

Save your cash to operate your business.  Buy Now, Pay Later! - a great strategy during times of high inflation.  Then get cash back.

*We can help you apply for financing that allows you to make NO down payment, with 0% APR for up to 18 months, and as much as 6% cash back on other purchases, so long as you make timely payments.

The companies we associate with allow you to pay-off your sign any time you wish.

Cash Accepted

We can offer a discount on some orders if paid in cash. We also accept checks.

Credit Cards Accepted

Custom-Tailored Monthly Payment Plans Available

In addition to conventional leases we offer accelerated leases and lease/purchase options that save you money overall, while still providing the opportunity to pay for the majority of your signs out of monthly profits.

Would a $65.00 per month payment, with no down payment, and no payments for the first 3 months, be preferable to paying for your sign up-front?

You can create the attention-getting signage you need to be successful, without short-term cost concerns.  Pay for your signs out of your business's future, increased, cash flow.

Signs on Time™ Purchase Plans

If you want to lease or lease/purchase, rather than purchase your signs outright, and need help in arranging a lease, please let us know.

Our leasing companies can combine our signs with other equipment you need in one lease or lease/purchase package.  Equipment such as point-of-sale computerized cash-register systems, telephone systems, security systems, manufacturing machinery, etc. can all be leased.

All signs maintenance costs can be included in the lease package.

Leasing gives you the option to upgrade your signs package, to change your look, at no additional cost at the end of the lease period.

Pay as You Grow™ Purchase Options

In addition to conventional leases we offer accelerated leases and lease/purchase options that save you money overall, while still providing the opportunity to pay for the majority, or all, of your signs out of monthly profits.

Zero Down Options

To help you open your business we have worked with one of our lenders to create exclusive no down payment plans.

FastStart™ Payment Options

To help you get your new venture out of the starting-blocks, payment programs are available that help conserve your initial operating cash; no payments for the first 3 months.

Why Do Companies Lease Equipment?

Eight out of ten companies lease some or all of their equipment.

Why do they lease? Because the flexibility provided by leasing allows them to have the most effective operation possible.

• Leasing is Flexible. Customize a program to address your needs & requirements.

• 100% Financing. There is very little money down with leasing - typically the first & last month's payment are due at the time of lease signing.

• Leasing is Fast & Convenient.  Leasing can allow you to respond quickly to new opportunities with minimal documentation.

• Tax Benefits. The IRS does not consider an operating lease to be a purchase, but rather a tax-deductible overhead expense.

• Improves Cash Flow. Lease payments are historically lower than loan payments.

• Manage Obsolescence. A lease allows equipment to be returned to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

• Balance Sheet Management. Because an operating lease is not considered a long-term debt or liability, it does not appear as debt on your balance sheet.

*We can help you apply for financing that allows you to make NO down payment, with 0% APR for up to 18 months, so long as you make timely payments.

Your Sign Starts Making You Money from Day One!

What does a sign really cost?

Of course you have to invest money in a lighted business sign so that it can create you income.

But, a sign can't cost you money, it has to make you money.  It is an investment to make your business grow.

So, when does a sign start making you money?

Use our Payment Plant Calculator™, below, to determine YOUR break-even point.  Or, ask our salesperson to run the numbers with you.

For an example let's decide if we can afford to borrow ^$10,000 to add to the cost of our channel letter sign to enhance its look and improve our image, and allow the business to pay for it out of future profits.  You may want to spend more, maybe less.

If you borrow 100% of the money to purchase this sign, and pay it back over 6 years with a 10% interest rate, your additional monthly payment will be about ^$185 per month.  Add to this the monthly additional operating costs for electricity, insurance, and property taxes because of the more-valuable sign - the sign's ONLY other costs.  For our example we will use a ^$190 per month total cost (^$6.25 per day during the loan period.)

The sign is a capital expense, and the interest paid is an expense, both saving you income taxes on your investment.  If you are in the 25% tax bracket (0% tax bracket in red) this will return to you over ^$3,300 (^$0) in Federal Income Taxes you would otherwise have been obligated to pay during the loan period. This reduces the break-even point by about ^$1.50 per day to ^$4.75 (still ^$6.25.)

Because of "expensing," you recover over ^$2,600 (^$0) of your investment the first year.  (Corporate tax rates now run to only 21%; pass-through corporations, businesses, and individuals to 37%, so your savings could be significantly higher.)

How much business will the sign need to generate to pay for itself?

You probably operate with a 25% to 50% cost of goods, depending on the type of business.

Will a beautiful sign in front of your business, rather than a "box" like everyone else has, attract at least ^$10.00 - ^$20.00 (^$12.50 - ^$25.00) in additional daily business (which also covers the cost of the goods you sell?)

Remember, history proves that the average business gets almost 70% of their sales just from their signage.

Of course it will.  Signs like these beautiful attention-getting signs make you money; they don't cost you a penny.

You want the best signage your initial cash flow will support, because you want your business to grow.

Potential Texas Sales/Use Tax Savings

Separated Contracts

If we are manufacturing and/or installing a newly constructed sign on a newly constructed building, or a new free-standing sign, the State of Texas only requires Sales/Use Tax to be paid on our cost of the materials, NOT the full price of the sign, because of the "Separated Contract" we will offer you.

You will save much more than you can from most our competitors.  Because we are actually the manufacturer, we must charge sales tax only on the cost of our raw materials, not what we paid someone else to build and ship the sign to us for.

Our invoices are the controlling part of a "Separated Contract."  In the instances above we will provide you with an invoice which is written to reflect Sales/Use Taxes for the materials only.

This is an average savings of 80% of the usual Texas Sales/Use Taxes!

"After being ripped-off by one sign company, who took my several-thousand-dollar deposit but never delivered my sign, I was nervous.  I'm sure glad I met you guys!"

Paul Lewis, Jubilee Mortgage

All too often we hear about sign companies who took deposits from customers but never delivered their signs.  In every instance, because the sign company had few assets, there was no recourse.

We are also told of companies that don't pay for the materials used in a sign, and/or never pay their laborers, in which case(s) THE CUSTOMER is legally liable for these bills EVEN THOUGH they paid the sign company!

Signs Manufacturing™ protects our customers, as the law allows, by providing them with both "Partial" and "Final" Lien Releases to legally protect them should ANYONE question whether we paid for materials and/or labor.

We also offer all our customers to be listed as "Additional Insured" for free on our $3,000,000 insurance policy, providing coverage if we default.

And as "Additional Insured" on our $25,000,000 Worker's Compensation/Accident Insurance.

Also, size DOES matter.  Our size, our investment in the community, and our State licensing, insures our customers that we will be here to deliver and install our signs (and to back our 5 Year ^$0 Cost Warranty and Lifetime Guarantees if our signs need service.)

Signs Manufacturing™ is insured, registered, licensed and bonded per City and State regulations, and carries product liability insurance.  We are regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, P. O. Box 12157,  Austin, Texas 78711, 1-800-803-9202, 512-463-6599; website: www.tdlr.texas.gov.

"...I had to hound **** (a Car Wrap company) for weeks and weeks, then I had to call ******** (the manufacturer) to finally get a hold of ****.  I thought **** was taking my deposit money and running.  When he asked for the second deposit I was kind of hesitant based on my experience with him.  I did some research on **** and there were judgments in Dallas County, civil judgments for **** taking money and not putting up a sign!  But the manufacturer said I had to deal with him, and he already had a great deal of my money.

The installation company he subcontracted with, *****, finally did show up and after giving them another $30,000 the sign was installed but ***** didn't pay ****, I guess, his "fair cut" of it.

**** was initially mad at ***** and then he was mad at me, so he came and took the controller out of the sign so now it doesn't even work!  I tried to go back to ******** (the manufacturer), and gave them all of the documentation and they said it's between me and ****, they won't do anything about it.  I'm never dealing any way but directly with a manufacturer again!"

Mr. Sinkler, Freedom Wash

"Our electronic-message-centers were nightmares.  Even though they were only 2 years old the manufacturer refused to service them."

Major Vincent, Salvation Army

"Our brand new sign looks terrible when it lights.  All splotchy and uneven.  The company that installed it refuses to correct the problem.  It is killing our business.  Fix it, but keep us informed as to the cost."

Delores Vasquez, Nations Video  (They spent $2,000 repairing their brand-new sign.)

"Our LED electronic-message-center, which cost us over $28,000, failed when it was 2 weeks old.  The company that installed it refuses to repair it - saying it can't be fixed.  The manufacturer refuses to fix it also.  Please repair or replace it."

Mark McCarthy, Harvest Christian Fellowship  (We had to replace it, they had to sue the manufacturer and installer.)

"I cannot express how disappointed we are to learn that our two-year-old $70,000 message center cannot be repaired.  I obviously wish we had purchased a good one from you."

Apostle Lobias Murray, Full Gospel Holy Temple

Are You a "Visual" Person?

It is difficult to picture what a sign is going to look like. What do you picture when we say "triple-layer multi-colored lighting with a textured backplate?"

Our Showroom is designed to solve that problem. Most people are visual ... they need to see something firsthand to understand what it is and whether it has value to them. Seeing is believing!

Visit our Showroom to see for yourself.
