# Lime Licensing Group
Lime Licensing Group is a UK-based franchise consultancy firm headquartered in Bradford, specialising in helping businesses become franchisable and supporting prospective franchisees. Since 1993, they've guided hundreds of brands through franchise development and expansion across multiple sectors and international markets.
The firm serves two primary audiences: established business owners looking to franchise their operations, and entrepreneurs seeking to join existing franchise systems. Their client portfolio spans diverse industries, from dementia care to professional services, with accumulated client royalties exceeding £100 million.
What distinguishes Lime is their comprehensive, risk-mitigation approach. Rather than simply structuring deals, they focus on future-proofing franchise systems by identifying and addressing known stress points and potential litigation issues early. Their team comprises the UK's largest in-house specialist group, drawing on decades of cross-sector experience across multiple price points and international markets.
The business holds prestigious credentials including membership with the British Franchise Association, Licensing International (for nearly 20 years), the FSB, and endorsements from recognised brands like Xero. They operate an European headquarters in Spain and maintain a Canadian joint venture, demonstrating substantial international reach.
Notably, Lime guarantees to beat competitor quotes, positioning themselves as cost-competitive despite their premium expertise. Their emphasis on creating "win-win scenarios" for all parties—franchisor, franchisees, and their own team—reflects a collaborative philosophy grounded in practical, implementable strategies rather than theoretical frameworks.
