Studio Charrette Franchise Opportunity

Studio Charrette franchisees operate locally while being supported nationally by a brand already trusted across the planning sector.

If you are not professionally qualified, you can refer all services to our central team. If you are qualified, you can deliver services directly and retain a higher margin.

Franchisee must promote and be able to facilitate all core services, whether by delivering directly or via central office coordination. You are encouraged to cultivate local partnerships and develop local referral networks with e.g. estate agents, builders, and solicitors to broaden your offer and strengthen your local reputation.

Franchisees are granted access to essential software platforms and communication tools that support every aspect of service delivery—from client onboarding to invoicing, document handling, and internal communications. You will have access to centralised systems, templates, and technical support.

The UK is divided into 20 strategic regions, each comprising 10 exclusive postcode-based franchise areas, totalling 200 mapped territories.

After a minimum of 6 months of successful trading, you may apply to acquire neighbouring territories.
