Senior Care Authority Offers New Business Owners a Less Costly Option to Meet the Rising Demand for Advisory Services in the Area of Senior Care

Senior Care Authority franchisees have lower operating costs and less competition than those who start senior in-home care businesses.

PETALUMA, Calif. — In meeting the increasing demand for guidance in care options, the Senior Care Authority business model offers a solid menu of services in the areas of Eldercare Consulting, Senior Placement, and Advocacy. Senior Care Authority offers a low investment opportunity for those seeking to own a business in this growing industry. Costs related to initially hiring employees or renting office space faced by those who start senior in-home care businesses are not incurred by Senior Care Authority owners, making this a low overhead opportunity. The company provides support, education, technology, and extensive training to empower franchisees to start operations immediately and scale quickly.

Senior Care Authority is a leader in senior placement and eldercare consulting. Advisors offer families critical guidance as they navigate the often stressful and overwhelming process of choosing the best senior care options for their loved ones. Senior Care Authority’s local business owners truly make a difference in the lives of seniors by ensuring that they are able to find the best long-term care solutions based on the individual needs of each client.

The demand for senior care services has been rising exponentially in recent months. “I have the utmost respect for in-home care businesses since they also do valuable and admirable work. We consistently work with these organizations to create the best care plan for our clients,” says Frank M. Samson, CSA, founder and CEO of Senior Care Authority in Petaluma, CA. “However, it is a very competitive sector of the senior care business – making it more challenging for start-ups to break into the industry. Senior Care Authority, on the other hand, allows franchisees to tap into the growing demand with fewer barriers and far less competitors”

Successful Senior Care Authority franchisees often have these traits in common:

Are able to create, establish, and maintain an untarnished reputation in the community and develop relationships with other senior care providers and referral sources.
Compassion, empathy, and integrity in all relationships.
Excellence in the fulfillment and delivery of placement services – displaying trustworthiness, expertise, reliability and sharing of valuable resources.
Skills in the development of effective marketing tactics and obtaining referrals to generate new clients.
Are able to leverage technology, systems, and processes that have been proven to produce consistent and profitable results.

“We take our job – which is ultimately to help families identify and locate the care services that will be the most beneficial for their physical and mental well-being – very seriously. We are always thrilled when like-minded individuals who wish to provide the same life-changing service to seniors and their families decide to open a Senior Care Authority franchise. It is truly an honor to fully support them and their businesses with proven systems and technologies that works,” said Marcy Baskin, Managing Director of Senior Care Authority.

Fighting Through Pandemic, TITLE Boxing Club Awards Franchise in Brooklyn

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-07-22T10:47:11-04:00July 22nd, 2020|Tags: boutique fitness studio, boxing and kickboxing fitness classes, boxing-inspired fitness club, TITLE Boxing Club, Title Fights for Nurses, virtual fitness application, workout|

Former Member of the Boutique Boxing Fitness Concept Brings ‘Best Hour of the Day’ to Park Slope.

NEW YORK — TITLE Boxing Club, the nation’s leading boutique boxing fitness franchise with more than 180 clubs open across the United States, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, has signed a franchise agreement with Henry Mendez. The 20-year veteran of the telecom industry will bring the club that provides ‘the best hour of your day’ to the Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn.

Striving to live a healthy lifestyle and already a practitioner of Krav Maga, Mendez was looking for an upbeat cardio workout when he took his first class at the Forest Hills TITLE Boxing Club in late 2019. He immediately became enamored with the boxing workout, trainer, look and feel of the club, and especially the feeling he had after class. He quickly made it a weekly ritual to take a class. At the same time, his company of the last decade was going through a reorganization, and then coronavirus pandemic hit New York. Mendez was let go and began working with a placement company and a franchise consultant to discover the next phase of his career.

Mendez repeatedly asked himself, “What do you want to wake up every morning and do?” It became increasingly clear the answer was provide his neighbors with that same great feeling he had after every class at TITLE Boxing Club.

“The experience of taking a class at TITLE Boxing Club has no comparisons,” said Mendez. “I want to provide the same community-driven environment, and a class that will get your heart pumping, to my Brooklyn neighbors. As the city reopens, I want my TITLE Boxing Club to be a safe haven for those looking to live healthier and be active in a post-pandemic world. When you come to TITLE Boxing Club, it’s you and your heavy bag – we’ll be the safest place to get in fighting shape.”

Not deterred by the pandemic-related shutdowns, Mendez anticipates opening his club in Park Slope, Brooklyn this winter.

“It’s always a great day when a passionate and dedicated member is at the right moment in his or her life to join TITLE Boxing Club as a franchisee,” said Susan Boresow, president of TITLE Boxing Club. “Henry’s desire to provide an exceptional experience for those looking to add health and fitness into their lives is exactly what makes him a great addition to our franchise family. Doing so in a city that had to go on full lockdown demonstrates Henry’s trust in the TITLE Boxing Club brand and game plan during these uncertain times.”

Over the last several months, TITLE Boxing Club has shifted its franchise sales to best suit prospective franchise partners. While there’s been an emphasis on health and wellness and a high demand for franchise ownership, the franchise has offered several virtual Discovery Days and virtual training so new owners can open successfully when restrictions in their area begin to ease.

About TITLE Boxing Club^®

TITLE Boxing Club, a Franworth company, is a boutique fitness studio that specializes in boxing and kickboxing fitness classes. Based in Kansas City, the company has more than 180 clubs open and operating across the country and another 150 in development. The brand is currently ranked on Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious Franchise 500 list and the Inc. 5000 list of American’s fastest-growing, privately-held companies.

Shipping Consultants Serve as Pandemic Partners, Ongoing Support for Business Owners

InXpress Experiences Mid-Year Franchise Growth Due to Proficiency, Rise of e-commerce and Robust Industry.

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — InXpress, a shipping and logistics franchise with a network of 400 franchises in 14 countries – helps small-to-medium size businesses ship 4.6 million packages a year. This year, efficient shipping has become even more essential for business owners due to supply chain challenges, overwhelmed carrier partners and an overall influx of ecommerce shipping needs.

InXpress is the DHL Express No. 1 reseller of 2019, and through the trusted global partnership, massive group buying power, and a reliable network of nearly 50 other carrier partners, franchisees are able to offer small and mid-size enterprises (SME) shipping rates traditionally only available to high-volume clients.

“It’s undeniable that there is a growing demand for discounted shipping services in the rapidly expanding e-commerce sector, resulting in franchise candidates researching InXpress,” said Christina Chambers, Executive Vice President, Franchise Development. “Fortunately, our franchisees who are trusted, knowledgeable partners for SMEs continue to serve as a reliable remote support system for all of their clients shipping needs and especially there to assist those facing pandemic-impacts.”

One entrepreneur is joining InXpress after a decade of serving in the United States Marine Corps. Some are coming from corporate positions in accounting, sales and different leadership positions within start-up companies, while others have no sales-background but are self-driven, strategic and know the growth potential.

Some new franchisees have seen the financial freedom and success of others. For instance, Vijay Nalik is opening an InXpress in Tennessee, while his brother owns an InXpress in Australia. The transfer sales speak to the future selling option available to franchisees and the benefit of purchasing an established InXpress franchise with cliental built-in.

“Our clients, especially those in high-demand e-commerce verticals, rely on our global DHL partnership and widespread carrier connections,” said Kody Slade, InXpress Dallas franchisee and franchise development director. “As international specialists, we provide tailor-made courier and delivery options for customers. What sets InXpress apart from competitors is our franchisees’ superior account management and attentive personal touch.”

The InXpress franchise opportunity is attractive to self-starters because it allows owners to work anywhere in the world with no territory restrictions and no employee requirements. The work-from-home nature of the business, allows owners to launch with low-overhead and provide a needed service safely from the comfort of their home office.

Additionally, it’s a proven franchise model that allows entrepreneurs the flexibility to scale as they see fit. Franchisees can shift their business to industries experiencing an upward tick in shipping needs.

Premium Service Brands’ 6 Brands See 23% Growth Through First Half of 2020

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-07-16T10:43:55-04:00July 16th, 2020|Tags: 360° Painting, Handyman Pro, Kitchen Wise, Maid Right, Premium Service Brands, ProLift Garage Doors, Renew Crew|

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The six brands of Premium Service Brands have proven their grit, profitability, and business acumen, posting a 23% growth in systemwide revenue over 2019 in the first half of 2020. 360° Painting, Maid Right, Handyman Pro, ProLift Garage Doors, Kitchen Wise and Renew Crew posted huge numbers in an enormously difficult economic climate. Systemwide revenue growth has also bolstered franchise sales which have risen 19% over 2019.

This growth is partly because of the extra support the franchise owners received as the coronavirus began to spread across the country. To shore up financials and adapt their business models to the new and varied demands of clients all over the country, corporate staff reached out to owners with inventive tools and re-worked processes.

“We were creative in our pivot following the shutdowns that affected many areas of the county,” said VP of Brand Performance, Dave Rychley. “We ran financing, sales, and marketing webinars and held nearly constant ‘office hours’ so we could really coach owners 1:1 and help them not only survive but thrive.”

In many parts of the country, the six brands were recognized as essential services and they continued to support homeowners throughout the shutdown. Fairly quickly, franchise owners were offering Free Virtual Estimates, introducing new safety requirements for their crew, and turning to a variety of digital tools to keep their businesses running. Throughout the fall, all brands will be offering 100% contactless services – a way for homeowners to get the work they need done at home without any risk or worry.

“Safety is always the first thing we think of,” said Rychley. “All crews implemented new safety protocols like wearing masks and booties, wiping down all surfaces, and extra communication before and after the projects so that homeowners knew our crews were healthy.”

Revenue throughout Q1 and Q2 affirmed the effectiveness of these changes and individual brands hit major milestones. 360° Painting reported their highest grossing month of revenue ever and Renew Crew did its best month since June 2018.
