The International Franchise Association’s new accelerator program seeks to increase franchise business ownership to narrow wealth gap

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — HomeFront Brands, a property service franchise platform comprising five emerging brands, today announced its support for the International Franchise Association (IFA)’s new Franchise Ascension Initiative, an accelerator program established to support individuals from underrepresented communities with education, mentorship, resources and financial support so they can successfully launch a career in franchise ownership.

By increasing diversity in the franchisee talent pipeline, the Franchise Ascension Initiative aims to narrow the wealth gap and provide qualified individuals with business ownership opportunities.

“Franchising is one of the greatest pathways to business ownership and creating generational wealth,” said IFA President and CEO Matt Haller. “This program ensures that access to opportunity is available to everyone, regardless of background. What better way to bridge the wealth gap than by opening more doors for minority business owners. With the support of our generous partners like HomeFront Brands, the Ascension Initiative will further help franchising change lives and communities.”

As a Founding Supporter, HomeFront Brands will donate $10,000 annually over the next five years for a total contribution of $50,000. The company’s donations will help launch the accelerator program, which will begin accepting applications in the coming months. The first group of participants is expected in late 2024.

“HomeFront Brands is committed to supporting diverse and underserved communities as part of our core values of community, accountability, respect, excellence and service,” HomeFront Brands Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan said. “We’re excited to be a part of the IFA’s Franchise Ascension Initiative and proud to work toward the goal of helping qualified individuals reach their goals of business ownership.”

According to data from Oxford Economics, Black-owned franchises earn 2.2 times more than Black-owned independent businesses; Hispanic-owned franchises earn 1.6 times more than Hispanic-owned independent businesses; and Asian-owned franchises earn 1.4 times more than Asian-owned independent businesses.

The Franchise Ascension Initiative will select capable candidates for a rigorous six-month education program to help them build the essential skills they need to be successful franchisees. Building on IFA’s extensive library of franchise educational materials, the program will be specifically curated for participants, along with individualized mentorship. The program will culminate in a pitch contest with potential franchise opportunities.

HomeFront Brands offers community-based franchise opportunities to aspiring entrepreneurs seeking to build a dynasty and create generational wealth. By leveraging data-driven insights and enterprise-level solutions with a focus on community-based franchising, HomeFront Brands has seen tremendous growth since its inception in February 2022.

Local owner Nate Van Valkenburg offers area residents eco-friendly relief from mosquitos, sand flies and other “noseeums”

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Local Mozzie Dome owner Nate Van Valkenburg announced today that his company has rebranded as Yard Patrol Pros Charleston and will offer area residents effective and eco-friendly options to keep outdoor pests at bay this summer.

Van Valkenburg’s office is one of the first franchise locations to make the switch.

“We’re pleased to offer outdoor pest solutions that keep properties safe from biting insects without compromising the safety and health of the property owners and their guests, pets or children,” Van Valkenburg said. “In Charleston, we have a lot of concern with midges and sand flies. These pests leave itchy and irritating bites that can last for days. Yard Patrol Pros Charleston wants to eliminate these threats so residents and tourists can enjoy all the outdoor activities we have to offer.”

Yard Patrol Pros is Van Valkenburg’s third HomeFront Brands venture. He also owns Window Hero Charleston and The Designery Charleston.

Van Valkenburg was awarded HomeFront Brands’ Top Producer of the Year for both franchise outlets at the franchisor’s annual convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, this past November. This award is presented to the franchisee who shows unwavering dedication to success and an unmatched ability to drive revenue.

“Being a multi-unit franchise owner with HomeFront Brands has allowed me to provide the Charleston area with a variety of property services that are necessary for improved living,” he said. “Yard Patrol Pros is a wonderful extension of that service suite.”

Yard Patrol Pros Charleston serves Charleston, Folly Beach, Goose Creek, Hanahan, Isle of Palms, James Island, Kiawah Island, Moncks Corner, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Seabrook Island, Sullivan’s Island and Summerville.

DENVER — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation and service, will announce the opening of four Denver area locations at the Denver Home Show at the National Western Complex on March 22-24.

Top Rail Fence South Denver owner Christopher Gragg will also use the conference to celebrate the grand opening of his location, and he hopes to create a legacy business.

“Top Rail Fence has provided me with the opportunity to own a business that aligns with both my personal values and business goals,” said Gragg, who has a background in managing internet sales for a major homebuilder. “In the time I’ve spent in the home building industry, I recognized the need for residential fences in South Denver and seized this opportunity.”

In addition to the grand openings of the Front Range and South Denver locations, Top Rail Fence Denver and Top Rail Fence Fort Collins owners Sean Raftery, Stephen West and Pete Montana will also be at the show to introduce their two locations that will open in mid-April.

Owner Justin Green wants his Top Rail Fence West Volusia and Top Rail Fence Daytona Beach locations to provide the area with a sense of comfort and confidence

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation and service, will announce the opening of two locations in West Volusia and Daytona Beach, Florida, with a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the city of Debary at the Debary Golf & Country Club from 4-6 p.m. on Feb. 29.

Owner Justin Green said both new Central Florida locations are dedicated to offering high quality materials with best in practice installation, from highly trained professionals.

“I hope my business will have a positive influence on my community,” he said. “I want to be able to provide my neighbors with security and privacy while giving them a brand they can have confidence in.”

Green said when he and his then fiancée, now wife, decided to sell his home to combine households, their realtor suggested they add fencing to improve its resale value and appeal. His difficulty in finding a dependable contractor to install the fence made him realize how much the Central Florida area needed a professionally run fence company that had a customer-focused approach.

“I come from a family of entrepreneurs, so small business ownership has always been my dream,” he said. “I went through a long discovery process to find the right franchise. But, after my fencing experience and after meeting the team at Top Rail Fence, I knew I’d found the right place. Their leadership and support team instilled the confidence I needed to know this was the right business for me.”

Green is a graduate of the University of South Florida with a degree in marketing and finance. He has spent most of his professional career in sales and management, developing new territories or improving underperforming territories in corporate America. He plans to bring his consultative approach to ensure each customer is completely satisfied with the investment to their property.

“I’m excited to grow a business that is my own instead of someone else’s,” he said. “My overall vision is to build the best fence company in the area, one that puts our customers first. Leaving each property owner confident that their investment with us will provide security and peace of mind for years to come.

Top Rail Fence West Volusia and Daytona Beach will serve the residents of Daytona Beach, De Leon Springs, DeBary, Deland, Deltona, Eustis, Flagler Beach, Heathrow, Holly Hill, Lake Helen, Lake Mary, Orange City, Ormond, Ormond Beach, Pierson, Port Orange, Samsula- Spruce Creek, Sanford, Sorrento, South Daytona and Umatilla.

Owner Andy Deck hopes his fencing company’s reliable service will build a solid referral business and will work to better the community

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation and service, will celebrate its move into Indiana with a grand opening event at the Adoption Agency of Indiana on Feb. 6 at 4 p.m.

The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce will be on hand and Top Rail Fence North Indianapolis owner Andy Deck will donate $1,000 to the adoption agency. Deck and his wife are the parents of two adopted daughters.

“I know these agencies struggle for money to help birth mothers through the process and find parents who want to adopt,” he said. “It’s something close to our heart as a family. Our daughters are a blessing, and this is an option more people should look into.”

Deck says he also hopes his Top Rail Fence location will become a force for good in his community.

“I have lived in this area all my life, and I want to make sure we are a trustworthy fencing company that does great work and provides reliable service,” Deck said. “I am excited about the opportunity to start something new here and build my Top Rail Fence location into a business that is known for giving its clients an outstanding customer experience.”

Deck already serves his community as a firefighter with the Indianapolis Fire Department, where he has worked for more than 20 years. But Deck is no stranger to entrepreneurship, either. He co-owned an Alloy Wheel Repair franchise in Indianapolis from 2009-2016.

“Having previously owned my own company, I understand the commitment necessary to make a business successful,” he said. “It’s not something you can take lightly. It requires hard work and determination. I know the friendly people here in the Indianapolis area will welcome this new endeavor and applaud our reliability.”

Deck also worked in sales prior to joining the fire department, and he expects this experience to help him at his Top Rail Fence venture.

“When you work in sales, you end up working with a lot of different types of people,” he said. “This should help me as I build my Top Rail Fence location. I can’t wait to begin working with clients and subcontractors to become a fencing company people will appreciate and refer to their friends, business associates and neighbors.”

Deck is a graduate of Indiana University. He and his wife, Chanda, have two girls, ages 17 and 11.
