Fact sheet
Inside Litha Espresso
The right questions before you start
The concept at a glance
Litha Espresso supplies organic, ethically sourced coffee and eco-conscious capsules to businesses of all sizes, with a particular focus on small and medium-sized companies. Coffee has become an everyday fixture of working life, and the brand has built its entire proposition around meeting that demand responsibly. A dedicated eco-torrefaction workshop, developed after two years of research and using wood pellets instead of traditional roasting methods, allows the network to cut CO2 emissions significantly compared with conventional coffee production. It's a model that blends tradition, innovation and sustainability into a single, distinctive offer.
Why join this franchise?
Franchisees benefit from joining a brand that has identified a genuine gap in the market: most coffee providers chase consumer footfall, leaving the business-to-business coffee-break sector comparatively underserved. Litha Espresso positions its franchisees as trusted local experts, offering:
- A recognised, differentiated brand built around sustainability and quality
- Access to prospecting tools and sales support designed for day-to-day performance
- The collective strength and shared intelligence of a growing national network
- The independence of running your own business, backed by proven systems
With coffee consumption remaining a near-universal habit in the workplace, the addressable market is substantial and largely untapped by specialist, ethically minded suppliers.
Who they're looking for
Litha Espresso welcomes candidates from a variety of backgrounds, whether they bring existing commercial expertise, a passion for coffee, or simply a desire to build something meaningful through professional retraining or a first venture into business ownership. What matters most is a genuine alignment with the brand's values: a strong sense of customer service, a responsible approach to business, and enthusiasm for building lasting relationships with local companies. Networking ability and comfort with a field-based, relationship-driven sales role are particularly valued, as franchisees act as the face of Litha Espresso within their local business community.
Requirements and investment
Entry into the network is designed to be accessible. Candidates should have available personal contribution in the region of £5,000, with a total investment to launch the business of around £30,000, which includes initial franchise fees of approximately £10,000. This relatively modest outlay reflects the nature of the business, which is built around service delivery and client relationships rather than heavy retail infrastructure or large premises. In return, franchisees gain access to the brand's sourcing network, eco-friendly product range, training and ongoing sales support, helping new operators reach operational speed quickly.
