Stage Coach

Stage Coach

Cheryl Lowe always had a knack for decorating. After taking time off from her career as a software engineer to raise her children, she decided to turn her hobby into a business.

In 2013, she launched a home-staging service, now known as Chic Chateau. “Most customers are folks who are selling their homes and want to get top dollar,” Lowe says. “There’s a huge demand for our services.”

As the business grew, folks often asked Lowe how to start their own staging companies. The question prompted Lowe to look into franchising, which seemed like a natural fit. Today, she offers franchise opportunities. There is no design experience needed. “You just need a love of decorating. We teach franchisees how to do everything else,” Lowe says.

“Chic Chateau is a unique offering in home-decorating services,” according to Cindee Brown of Turnkey Franchises. “It’s a great fit for anyone looking for a low-cost way to start a home-decorating business.” For more information, visit www.chicchateau.com
