FAQs

We want you to know exactly what you’re signing up for before you apply.
This isn’t a course or a hobby — it’s a professional business partnership, and we only work with franchisees who share our values, our work ethic, and our long-term vision.

What does the Lemon and Lime franchise offer?

As a Lemon and Lime franchisee, you’ll receive comprehensive training, access to our proven home staging techniques, marketing support, and ongoing mentorship to build a successful business. We provide all the tools and strategies you need to thrive in the UK property market.

Do I need a background in property or interior design?

No. Many of our franchisees started with no formal experience in property, interior design, or staging.
What matters most is your personal interest, willingness to learn, and ability to follow a proven business model.
We provide in-depth training and ongoing support so you can gain the industry knowledge you need.

What qualities are you looking for in a franchisee?

We look for people who:

• Share our values of professionalism, integrity, and exceptional customer care.
• Are self-motivated, resilient, and commercially minded.
• Can follow our systems while adding their own initiative.
• Have the interpersonal skills to build strong relationships with estate agents, clients, and suppliers.

This is as much about who you are as it is about what you’ve done.

What do I get when I invest in a franchise?

Your investment includes:

• Comprehensive induction and hands-on training in home staging and business operations.
• Proven marketing strategies and professionally designed branding assets.
• Step-by-step processes for quoting, project management, and delivery.
• Access to our supplier network, software tools, and business templates.
• Ongoing mentoring and operational support from an experienced team.

We’re upfront and practical — no fluff, no empty promises.

Is this just an online course?

No. This is a full business partnership.
We work alongside you, teaching you how to win clients, run projects profitably, and scale sustainably.

How much does it cost and what are the financial commitments?

We’ll share investment details during your application process.
You should be confident you can fund your set-up and first months of operations. Many franchisees adjust personal spending or delay other projects to make it possible.

Will you accept me if I have the money?

Not necessarily.
This is a two-way selection process. We only bring in franchisees who we believe will thrive — and you should be equally sure we’re the right fit for you.

How soon will I start making money?

It depends on your effort, local market, and how quickly you implement our strategies.
This is not a “get rich quick” scheme — it’s a long-term, sustainable business.

Do I have to focus only on vacant properties?

No. We train you to work across the entire market — including occupied homes, which make up most opportunities.

How much personal marketing will I have to do?

You’ll be expected to market actively, both online and face-to-face.
We’ll give you the tools, templates, and guidance to ensure your efforts are effective.

Will I get step-by-step instructions?

Yes. Our training covers every aspect of running your staging business — quoting, styling, photography, aftercare, and more — plus the data and insight to make smart decisions.

How much ongoing support will I receive?

You’ll have:

• Direct access to our experienced team.
• Regular check-ins and group calls.
• A community of fellow franchisees.
• On-demand resources and refresher training.

You’ll never be left to “figure it out” alone.

What if it doesn’t work out for me?

We will support you at every step — but success requires commitment, consistency, and resilience.
If you’re not ready to work hard or follow the system, this is not the right opportunity.

How long does the application process take?

It’s thorough, not rushed.
You’ll meet our team, see how we work, and clarify expectations before any decision is made.

How can I prepare before applying?

• Research the home staging industry in your area.
• Review your finances and personal support network.
• Be ready to explain why you want to run a staging business and what success looks like for you.
• Consider whether you’re prepared to follow a proven model and market yourself actively.

Will I have a specific territory to work in?

Yes, every Lemon and Lime franchisee is allocated an exclusive territory, ensuring there’s no overlap with other franchisees and that you have plenty of opportunities in your area.
