National home staging firm Lemon and Lime Interiors has announced the launch of its franchise network, allowing franchisees to operate their own home staging business under the Lemon and Lime umbrella in Kent.
Having recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, the Derbyshire-based firm is setting its sights on ambitious growth plans, starting with the launch of a first-of-its-kind franchising opportunity, with aspiring home stagers Rebecca Channon and Luke Harris chosen to lead Lemon and Lime in Canterbury and across South East Kent.
Franchisees will gain exclusive access to Lemon and Lime’s unique FLOW system. Rooted in practicality, this system aims to give business owners the know-how, processes and support across finance, lead generation, operations and workflow, enabling them to focus on growing a profitable home staging business.
Elaine Penhaul, founder and director of Lemon and Lime Interiors, said: “Having been in the position of setting up and growing a profitable business ourselves, we know how difficult it can be for ambitious and entrepreneurial home stagers to establish themselves in the UK property market.
“10 years in, and having staged more than 1500 properties, I am incredibly proud to be in a position to use our expertise to back others at the start of their journey.
“Above all, the franchise model offers business owners a community to share ideas and expertise between like-minded professionals and lift one another up, in what can be quite an isolating industry.
“By establishing a group of ambitious home stagers, the home staging industry has the power to become a far more dominant marketing service that will become essential for estate agents to rely on.”
Operating within the established Lemon and Lime brand, franchisees, which have also been secured in Cardiff and Exeter, will directly benefit from an existing network of connections, including agents and suppliers, with enquiries already coming through for their services.
Rebecca Channon and Luke Harris of Lemon and Lime Canterbury said: “We’re proud to be part of Lemon and Lime’s next chapter. Joining the company felt like a natural fit, and we’re thrilled to be leading its exciting expansion into Canterbury and South East Kent.
“The brand’s data-led approach to home staging clearly shows how great presentation drives strong, faster sales, and we look forward to working with local estate agents and homeowners to maximise property potential.”
