Home services

Boulder Designs franchises all 82 of its home-services units, and unit count grew 6.494% year over year — a system in expansion. Item 11 mandates QuickBooks for accounting, with Intuit also in active use. Sibling brand Border Magic shares ownership, and the largest cluster of Boulder Designs' 95 mapped single-unit operators sits in Texas. For a vendor, growth plus a shared parent with Border Magic means one relationship can reach two systems.

The vendor opportunity at Boulder Designs Boulder Designs franchises all 82 of its home-services units, and unit count is up 6.494% year over year — one of the faster-growing systems in its category. Ninety-five mapped single-unit operators run the network, with the largest concentration in Texas.

Who controls software purchasing Item 2 names Robin Mogavero as Treasurer and Director of Human Resources, the sole officer listed for the brand. Boulder Designs shares ownership with sibling brand Border Magic, and because QuickBooks is mandated at the franchisor level, that piece of the technology stack is a headquarters decision rather than a per-operator one.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required Item 11 mandates QuickBooks by Intuit for accounting, and Intuit itself appears in active use. Facebook, Google Places, and LinkedIn are named in Item 11, Pinterest in Item 13, and Twitter in Item 11 — none of them required.

Procurement, renewals, and timing Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list: the mortar mixer, transport trailer, truck signage, marketing and initial supplies, and manuals must come from Boulder Designs or its designees; where no approved supplier is named for an item, franchisees may buy from any source that meets specification. The 10-year initial term renews under Item 17 for operators who sign the then-current agreement, give timely notice, renovate to current standards, stay current on payments, pay the renewal fee, and clear licensing, training, and background requirements.

Questions vendors ask

Boulder Designs, answered from the filing

Item 2 names only Robin Mogavero, Treasurer and Director of Human Resources — the named contact at headquarters. Because QuickBooks is mandated at the franchisor level, purchasing for that piece of the stack runs through Boulder Designs' corporate office, not individual operators.
QuickBooks by Intuit is mandated under Item 11, and Intuit is separately in active use. Facebook, Google Places, and LinkedIn are named in Item 11, Pinterest in Item 13, and Twitter in Item 11, but none of them is required.
82 units, all franchised, in the home services segment, with unit count up 6.494% year over year. Mapped operators concentrate in Texas (28), followed by Florida, Oklahoma, Indiana, and North Carolina.
Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list: the mortar mixer, transport trailer, truck signage, marketing and initial supplies, and manuals must come from Boulder Designs or its designees. Where no approved supplier is identified, franchisees may buy from any source meeting specification.
The initial term is 10 years, and Item 17 renewal requires signing the then-current agreement, timely notice, a renovated location, current payments, the renewal fee, valid licensing and certifications, and a general release.
