Send Me A Pro Ranked by Entrepreneur Magazine as Fastest Growing Franchise in 2023, Hits 100+ Locations in 2 Years

2023-06-01T10:39:43-04:00June 1st, 2023|Tags: , , , , , , , |

Diversify Your Investment With Our Multi-Service Franchise Model;

Everything from fitness & sports trainers, pet care providers, tutors, residential cleaning, lawn care, handyman services and much more.

MIAMI — Send Me A Pro has been recognized as one of the Fastest Growing Franchises in 2023 by Entrepreneur magazine. The ranking highlights the fastest growing franchises that are gaining strong traction.

“It is an honor to be recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine amongst the Fastest Growing Franchises in 2023,” says Bary El-Yacoubi, Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “In under two years we have established over 100 territories across the USA, Canada, UK and Dubai. Less than 16% of franchise systems reach the 100-unit threshold within 10 years. To receive this award in only our second year of franchising is a testament to the strong demand for our innovative franchise system.”

“The ability to offer multiple service businesses under one franchise is groundbreaking and is disrupting the franchise industry,” says Muhssin El-Yacoubi, Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “Historically speaking, every category is a standalone franchise. No one has ever aggregated multiple services with an Uber like experience under one franchise, until now. Send Me A Pro is changing the way people think of franchising as they don’t have to limit themselves to just one category anymore. Franchisees can now mitigate their risk and diversify their investment with our multi-service franchise model and this is what is leading to our exponential growth”.

“In the past decade we have seen the emergence of online marketplaces for products (such as Amazon), and this next decade will be about the digitization of the services economy with more services being booked online,” says Muhssin El-Yacoubi, Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “Our goal is to reduce the number of steps that it takes someone to connect with a local provider. This is done through curating an exclusive network of vetted providers, done-for-you booking, fixed pricing, and better customer service provided by our local franchise owner. ”

Send Me A Pro also leverages the boom in the gig economy that offers flexible gigs and work to local pros. The number of pros for each category is also limited and this ensures that the pros get booked more regularly. Pro’s enjoy being part of our platform because it’s a reliable source to get a consistent flow of new gigs.

“Since introducing the ability to add more services with Send Me A Pro, the number of inquiries from prospective franchise candidates has over tripled,” says Bary El-Yacoubi, Co-Founder of Send Me A Pro. “Franchise consultants and brokers that help prospective franchise owners select a franchise are telling us that they have never seen such an exciting reaction from their clients as when introduced to Send Me A Pro. People that were once looking for a handyman, dog walking, or maid service franchise are now considering Send Me A Pro. It’s an obvious choice for them as they can now simply offer all of these services and more through Send Me A Pro”.

Franchisees can also continue to add more service categories and prioritize services that are in high demand in their market. Franchisees are identifying popular services that are already being offered by other businesses in their markets and this is their validation to add these services to their Send Me A Pro platform.

For prospective new business owners, Send Me A Pro offers a modern business for the modern entrepreneur. Franchisees are attracted to our scalable, technology-enabled, home based business model with low overhead, no physical location and passive ownership options.

We have also received an influx of E-2 visa candidates as Send Me A Pro Franchise is very suitable for US immigrant visa applicants. To learn more about E-2, Franchise and international Master Franchise opportunities with Send Me A Pro and to apply, visit: https://www.sendmeaprofranchise.com.

About Send Me A Pro

Everything from fitness & sports trainers, pet care providers, tutors, residential cleaning services, lawn care and much more. Since launching its franchise model in 2020, Send Me A Pro has established over 100 territories across the USA, Canada, UK and Dubai.

Send Me A Pro is featured on the cover of Entrepreneur Magazine, ranked Fastest Growing Franchise and Top Emerging Brand by Entrepreneur Magazine, ranked Top Emerging Franchise by Franchise Gator, listed in the top 100 Fitness Franchises by Franchise Connect Magazine, and featured in Authority Magazine as disruptors in the fitness industry.

FranDevCo Welcomes Experienced Franchise Attorney Drew Chalfant as Partner, COO

2023-06-01T10:21:09-04:00June 1st, 2023|Tags: , , |

Seasoned Franchising Veteran Brings Best Practices in Franchise Compliance to Top-Tier Franchise Sales Organization.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — FranDevCo, a franchise development company specializing in emerging and growth-oriented franchise brands announces the appointment of Drew Chalfant as its new Chief Operating Officer. Chalfant is coming in as both Chief Operating Officer and a partner alongside franchise-industry veterans Jeff Dudan, Michael Abdy, and Sung Ohm.

Chalfant began his franchising industry career eight years ago as in-house legal counsel for St. Gregory Development Group. Over the years, he has served as in-house legal counsel for CycleBar, Fueled Collective and Shred415, as well as co-founder and managing partner of Roda Chalfant Franchise Law, a boutique franchise law firm that was named an Entrepreneur Magazine “Top Franchise Supplier” in the legal category in its second year of existence. In that role, Chalfant managed a team of attorneys that took over 100 franchisors to market through preparation of their Franchise Disclosure Documents and all related agreements.

The role at FranDevCo is an opportunity for Chalfant to combine his franchise legal expertise with his passion for the franchise business growth model and franchise development. 

“While I found great fulfillment working with mainly emerging brands during my time at the law firm, I look forward to putting my background and experience in franchising to work at FranDevCo, where our brands are positioned in a more adolescent to mature stage of their brand lifecycle,” Chalfant said. “Franchising is truly a force multiplier. I’m honored and humbled to have the opportunity to help drive smart growth across the many great brands that FranDevCo works with.”

As COO, Chalfant will support and manage all key business operations, including sales, marketing, business development, finance, operations, and compliance. Chalfant will be responsible for enhancing FranDevCo’s reputation in the franchise industry as a top-tier franchise sales organization. He’ll also leverage his background as a franchise attorney to build upon the current best practices in franchise compliance – allowing the brands that FranDevCo represents to grow with confidence within the regulatory framework of the franchise industry.

“With franchising being such a heavily regulated industry full of nuance and complexity, Drew’s legal background and vast franchise experience brings significant value to our organization,” said FranDevCo’s President and CEO Sung Ohm. “He will be instrumental in continuing to deliver on the FranDevCo mission of helping entrepreneurs find financial independence through franchising.”

FranDevCo provides outsourced franchise development services to national and international brands as they look to increase their footprint. The brand curates the entire franchise sales lifecycle from initial lead generation through prospect education to deal closure. FranDevCo works with franchisors to perfect their entire development process, bring qualified franchise leads, and drive explosive growth.

FranDevCo has the exclusive development rights for 12-plus national franchisors and has successfully awarded hundreds of franchise territories since inception. Chalfant joins an elite team of franchise professionals by partnering at FranDevCo with Homefront Brands’ Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan, FranDevCo CEO and partner Sung Ohm, and seasoned middle-market private equity franchise investor Michael Abdy. FranDevCo provides an unparalleled level of real-world franchise development experience to franchisors as they look to grow their footprint.

ComForCare Establishes Exclusive Partnership with Connected Home Living to Launch Connected Care, Providing 24/7 Monitoring

2023-05-31T10:07:27-04:00May 31st, 2023|Tags: , , , , |

Technology will enable older adults with diverse care needs to confidently and safely live at home with proactive and ongoing support.

TROY, Mich.ComForCare, a franchised provider of in-home caregiving services, forges an exclusive partnership with Connected Home Living, the leader in remote patient care, to introduce Connected Care for clients. The new technology will be integrated into ComForCare/At Your Side’s in-home care protocol to monitor vital signs, alerts, medications, mental and physical state of older adults cared for, on a daily basis, ensuring continuity of care and rapid intervention for best possible outcomes.

“This partnership is a transformative step forward in our commitment to delivering comprehensive and compassionate care to our clients,” stated J.J. Sorrenti, CEO of Best Life Brands, parent company of ComForCare/At Your Side Home Care. “The integration of virtual care into daily use alongside our hands-on, in-home care is revolutionizing the way we empower older adults to maintain their independence and well-being. With the ability to detect weakness, illness, and support dementia progression, caregivers can respond swiftly and manage proactively, ultimately gaining more time to focus on an individual’s social and well-being needs that are crucial to thriving in the home.”

Connected Care enhances care with:

Fall Detection: the fall detection technology responds within minutes without the need for cameras or wearables. Placed throughout the home, 4D-radar-enabled fall detection devices detect falls by triggering an automated response when someone falls below a certain height threshold. The technology is always active and ready to intervene.

Wellness Monitoring: non-intrusive sensors gather real-time activity and daily living patterns to establish a baseline for individuals. This helps ensure that everything is okay by learning normal day and nighttime activities. When there’s a deviation from this baseline, remote care coordinators are alerted to address potential risks. Data is always being reviewed to allow for identification of unusual patterns and to provide better insights.

Daily Virtual Calls: individuals can receive personalized care and support from remote care coordinators via video calls and regular check-ins. The coordinators monitor the individual’s medical conditions and ensure that they have access to necessary medications and household supplies. If any items are missing, the coordinators respond promptly to address the issue. These calls not only combat loneliness but also build personal relationships and improve the overall wellness of the individual.

Chronic Disease Management: Bluetooth telehealth devices (such as a weight scale, blood pressure, or pulse oxygen) and an app on a phone or tablet enable home management of chronic conditions (where location licensing permits). These devices capture vital information, to ensure they remain stable,and provide medication reminders. Alerts and follow-ups are sent for missed check-ins, and symptom changes are monitored.

“We are looking forward to this partnership with ComForCare and At Your Side Home care to bring technological efficiencies and prioritize care and resources to older adults. This integrated approach of in-home care and technology allows an older adult to reach optimal health and thrive in their home,” says Neil Tantingco, founder and CEO of Connected Home Living. “We are passionate about supporting patients and their families by extending the care management team, reducing social isolation, and promoting healthy behaviors.”

Connected Care will be rolling out across ComForCare and At Your Side Home Care franchise locations over the next several months.

WIN Home Inspection Launches Partnership with Fisher House Foundation to Further Support Military Veterans

2023-05-31T09:59:38-04:00May 31st, 2023|Tags: , , , |

Home Inspection Company Marks 30th Anniversary by Helping Maintain Comfort Homes Where Veteran Families Stay While Loved Ones Undergo Medical Treatment.

CHICAGOWIN Home Inspection, the #1 ranked and fastest-growing home inspection franchise in the U.S., announces a new partnership with Fisher House Foundation, providing on-going support through volunteerism and gift-in-kind services. The partnership was formed to mark WIN’s 30th anniversary as a leading home inspection business and to honor veterans during National Military Appreciation Month.

“Caring for those who have served our nation is a responsibility we all share, and WIN is honored to partner with Fisher House Foundation in providing safe and comfortable stays for our veterans’ families in proximity to their loved ones undergoing medical treatment,” said Praful Mittal, WIN Home Inspection CEO. “As we work together to inspect and maintain these houses, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by our brave service members and their families. We are deeply grateful for the service of our veterans, and we remain committed to supporting them in any way we can,” added Mittal.

Fisher Houses are donated to the Departments of Veterans Affairs or Defense upon completion and become part of the medical center they serve. Inspections are typically carried out by maintenance staff at the medical center. This gift-in-kind donation will alleviate the burden on those public servants and allow for the early identification and repair of any potential issues that might have developed over time.

WIN Home Inspection has a network of more than 260 locations in 45 states, making it one of the fastest-growing home inspection companies in the United States with more than one-third of its franchise owners being military veterans and first responders. The home inspection company’s 20 percent discount on the initial franchising fee for veterans and first responders has helped retired military members establish a new, successful career for themselves after service.

As helping veterans is at the forefront of WIN Home Inspection’s mission, they are excited to collaborate with Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit organization that houses veterans and their families free of charge while their loved ones undergo medical treatment. The homes are located at medical and VA centers around the world with up to 21 suites each, a common kitchen, laundry facilities, dining room, and living room.

“For more than 30 years, Fisher House Foundation has been there for families as a loved one receives care at military and veteran medical centers,” said Fisher House Foundation CEO Ken Fisher. “We welcome WIN Home Inspection’s assistance in keeping these comfort homes comfortable, safe, and well-maintained as they serve a new generation of veterans.”

As part of a larger partnership, WIN Home Inspection will be active and engaged with Fisher House staff across the country to address their needs when it comes to maintaining the homes. Additionally, WIN Home Inspection’s Strategic Partners (franchise owners) across the country will volunteer to help with landscaping projects, provide warm meals to residents and more, as well as offer free Healthy Home Checks to ensure the health and safety of the homes.

WIN Home Inspection plans to continue to grow its support with Fisher House Foundation in the near future.

About Fisher House Foundation
Fisher House Foundation serves as “a home away from home” and is best known for its network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while their loved ones are receiving medical treatment. Since 1990, Fisher House Foundation has saved over 455,000 military and veterans’ families more than $575 million in out-of-pocket costs for lodging and transportation. Today, there are 95 Fisher Houses located across the United States, Germany and United Kingdom. Fisher House Foundation is currently on the Road to 100 Fisher Houses that, when completed, will serve over 1,400 military and veteran families on any given night.

About WIN Home Inspection

Sergio came to America from Europe 21 years ago to take a logistics position at a Fortune 100 company in the Northwest. Several years later, cutbacks and layoffs occurred, and he needed to make a change. There were no similar corporations in the region and very few good job opportunities. Furthermore, Sergio saw that starting over with another company would probably lead to more of the same. By Jack Monson
