A Truly Different Kind of Retail Partnership
Schmidt is one of Europe's most recognised kitchen and interior design brands, with over 85 years of craftsmanship behind it. When you open a Schmidt showroom in the UK, you're not buying into a standard model — you're acquiring an exclusive territory with no royalties or ongoing fees attached.
Our retail partners operate on a positive cash flow model — customers pay deposits and stage payments before products are ordered, meaning there's no need to hold expensive stock in a warehouse. Your showroom is your only physical investment, and Schmidt's supply chain does the rest.
If you have a passion for beautiful interiors, the drive to build something exceptional, and the funds to invest seriously, a Schmidt partnership could be the most rewarding business decision you ever make.

Bespoke. Built to Order. Built to Last.
The single biggest reason Schmidt converts showroom visitors into buyers is the product itself. Every kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and living space is designed and manufactured to order — nothing is off-the-shelf, nothing is generic. Customers receive a completely bespoke solution crafted specifically for their home.
As Europe's No.4 kitchen manufacturer, Schmidt produces over 700 kitchens every single day from its state-of-the-art facilities. That scale of manufacturing means unrivalled quality control, competitive pricing, and a product range that spans contemporary, classic, and everything in between.
Because every order is made-to-measure, there is no requirement to hold stock. Your showroom displays the range beautifully — and Schmidt's factories do the rest. It's a lean, profitable retail model that very few industries can match.

From Those Building Their Schmidt Legacy
The no-fee model completely changed our thinking. Every pound we earn is ours. Schmidt gave us the brand, the systems, and the support — we did the rest. It's the best business decision we've made.
From the moment we visited the first showroom, we knew this was different. The quality of the products speaks for itself. Customers walk in and immediately understand why Schmidt commands the prices it does.
We were looking for a retail opportunity that treated us like business owners, not operators. Schmidt does exactly that. The exclusivity of the territory and the freedom to run our own business makes all the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. A passion for beautiful design and a strong commercial mindset matter most. Many of our most successful UK partners come from business, retail, and management backgrounds. Schmidt provides the product knowledge, design training, and technical skills — you bring the drive.
There are none. Schmidt charges no royalties or ongoing fees — a genuinely unique position in the industry. Your revenue belongs entirely to your business. Schmidt earns when you order products, so our interests are completely aligned.
You'll need a minimum of £70,000 in accessible personal funds to be considered as a Schmidt retail partner. This covers showroom investment, fit-out, and working capital. Because the business operates on a positive cash flow model — with customer deposits received before orders are placed — your capital goes much further than in most retail businesses. Full financial requirements are detailed in the information pack.
Yes. Every Schmidt UK retail partner receives a clearly defined, exclusive geographic territory. No other Schmidt showroom will open within your territory. It is a protected area, yours to develop.
No. This is one of Schmidt's biggest commercial advantages. Every product is made bespoke to order, so there is no requirement to hold stock. Customers pay deposits and staged payments before their order is placed with the factory — meaning the business runs on positive cash flow from day one. Your showroom is your only physical asset.
A limited number of premium UK territories remain available. We're actively seeking partners in key locations across England, Scotland, and Wales. Request the information pack and we'll confirm territory availability when we speak.
Support continues for the life of your partnership — business development manager visits, access to Schmidt's international design and product teams, national marketing campaigns, digital marketing support, sales software updates, product training, and annual partner conferences.
