Founded in 1993 in Coral Gables, we are the Regional Director (sub-franchisor) for Decorating Den Systems, Inc.--the largest interior decorating and residential design firm in North America, with almost 400 decorators and designers serving home and small business owners daily thru in-home/office, custom designs, and furnishings from top-name manufacturers. The region encompasses Manatee to Indian River Counties, south to Key West. Regional Directors are Cliff Welles, ASID and Judy Underwood, Allied ASID have been named Business Owners of the Year, Top Individual Sales, and winner of many 'Dream Room' design competitions. The SFL Team has been #1 in gross sales for the company 4 of the last 5 years. Creative entrepreneurs with a passion for decorating can learn about this unique career opportunity at www.DecDen.net, where they can register for personal, no hassle, no obligation interaction with an experienced design professional on our team. This is also an excellent opportunity for independent designers who still struggle for clients, products, and profits. The franchise includes complete training; personal account set-up and samples library for 130+ preferred vendors; incredible buying power, usually full wholesale discounts; plus local mentoring and support in sales, merchandising, marketing, and business management. The training process begins intensively and continues thereafter, including 3-4 weeks of business preparation, a two week initial training class at our Easton, MD headquarters, and months of local 'Directions' training on specific topics (design, products, marketing, electronic tools, and sales). This is an un-matched business opportunity for those who love decorating and design but are not interested in a 4-yr interior design degree (often costing $100K+). DDSI has been evolving and improving its support systems for over 45 years and is rated 'Best of the Best' by Fortune magazine's 'Franchise 500'.
