Two Decades of Experience
Lime’s executives have been the advisors behind some of the country’s most successful business format franchises over the last two decades. We’ve launched dozens of market-leading brands. Furthermore, many of those brands have outperformed industry “norms” with help from our franchise consultants. Our brand licensing pedigree can be traced back to the 1990’s when we first placed cartoon superstar Scooby Doo on to a range of greeting cards.

Our experience and connections within the franchising industry provides the resources you will need to successfully realise your franchise objectives.

It is proven that one of the single most important elements to success in the world of franchising is to match the right business with the skill set of the franchisee. Consequently, our clients generally do better by getting the match right. As expert franchise consultants, we ensure that every franchise opportunity is pre-screened. This means we can properly assess if that franchise brand matches your criteria, investment, work life balance etc. Also of course if it is in a market that genuinely interests you.
