Scaling a Staging Company

Stock, storage, teams and repeat developer clients

Many talented stagers find themselves busy, well paid and trapped, the bottleneck in every job, with income that stops the moment they take a week off. This final book shows you how to turn that demanding job into a business. It explains how to turn your look into packs and kits, write operating procedures and protect the brand with a style guide. You will see the roles to fill, how to get employment status right, your duties as an employer and the move from chief stylist to owner. The funding chapter explains why staging is stock-heavy, why utilisation matters more than day rate, how to fund stock to match how it earns, and planning for VAT. Further chapters cover tracking every item of stock, managing the pipeline and the finances, and the risks that grow with you, from furniture fire safety to insurance and contracts that keep your stock yours. It ends with a twelve-month plan. This is the final book in the Staging, Interiors & Furnishing series.
