There are many different types and applications for custom business signs. As each business is unique, the requirements for signage in each business varies.

When people first start thinking about signs, they tend to recall the electrical signs they see on buildings – these can be provided by a sign company. But a full-service sign company can provide a lot more. Basically, any large object with words or images printed on them is a form of signage.

Sign – Led Times

Since custom business signs are, well – custom, the length of time it takes to make them also varies. The time it takes to produce a sign, once a design has been approved can easily be established since all the variables have been identified.

Getting design approval will depend on how many people are involved in the approval process and the urgency of the ones making the decision.

For exterior signs, permits are often required. Different by-laws have specific requirements, so for planning purposes, add approximately 4 weeks for the permitting process. (It is better to plan on the permit taking slightly longer than it should to eliminate the risk of a grand opening without the exterior signs.)

To help you plan your opening, we’ve created a handy checklist to help you identify the business signs you need and the time that is required to produce and install them.
