Home Staging Business Opportunity Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the questions you may be asking yourself when deciding if The Staging Group’s Home Staging Business Opportunity is right for you. We are here to help you throughout the process and would be happy to provide move information on these or any other questions you may have.

What is licensing?

Licensing is an agreement through which you would be granted permission to use The Staging Groups’ trademarks, copyrights, designs, and trade secrets. You would be granted the opportunity to sign on for a turn-key home staging business and start your dream of being self employed with a proven successful business model.

What is the difference between franchising and licensing?

With franchising, the franchisee has the right to use a trade name, products, and services, as well as an entire system for operating the business. The franchisee generally receives a defined working territory, development support, a specific operating manual, training, brand standards, quality control, a marketing strategy and business advisory support from the franchisor.

With licensing, the licensor also has the right to use a trade name, products and services, as well as an entire system for operating the business (same as franchising), however, there fewer restrictions on how the business is run. The licensor can make their own decisions regarding the working territory, how the business operates, marketing strategy, etc. Lastly, the initial investment for a license is much less than that of a franchise.

Why license instead of starting my own business?

Starting your own business is expensive, complex, and difficult. Trying to navigate government requirements, business development and changing market conditions is difficult for the most experienced entrepreneur.

By joining The Staging Group, you are joining a team that has already navigated their way through these difficult situations and developed a model for success.

What ongoing support is offered?
