The business model is recognised by the major UK high street banks who will typically lend up to £200K + Schmidt 0% interest loan on the showroom fitout = total initial investment circa £420K.

No interior design experience required

Your role as the franchisee is to lead your showroom team, welcoming prospective customers and overseeing the operation of your business, including an active role in the sales and customer care of the business. Franchisees in the UK have come from a wide variety of backgrounds, all sharing a keen interest in interior design; from senior roles in IT, architecture, engineering and marketing to teaching, F&B, electrical and the kitchen industry itself.

A global brand behind your local business

Founded in 1959 by Hubert Schmidt, the brand is now owned and operated by his granddaughters who have continued to uphold the strong ethos and culture, building on their family’s legacy. Where global brands of this size are often owned by corporations and VCs more interested in the financials, Schmidt is refreshingly human. Many of the 1,700+ employees at the 5 factories in Alsace plus 1 in Germany, view Schmidt as a job-for-life, ten/twenty/thirty-plus years!

For you and your employees this translates into industry-leading guidance, training and ongoing support. The profitability of your business is vital to ensure longevity and mutual ongoing success.

For example, there has been a drive to empower franchisees to grow their share of the high-margin interiors market, with HQ investing ‎€50M+ in a new factory to satisfy increasing demand.

It’s more than just training; Schmidt will support you
throughout your entire business journey:

Your dedicated UK support team are backed up by the experts at head office in Alsace, all working to help ensure your business is successful.

We only make money when you make sales, so we’re as dedicated to your success as you are!
