The vendor opportunity at Enlightened Business Advisory Group
Enlightened Business Advisory Group operates 2 franchised units, with its headquarters in New York. The company-owned unit count is not disclosed in the 2023 FDD. For software vendors, the addressable market is small, but the franchisor’s centralized control structure means a single HQ relationship could unlock all locations. The initial franchise term is 7 years, and renewal conditions include signing the then-current Franchise Agreement, which may have materially different terms.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2023 FDD identifies Matthew Solomon as President and Chief Executive Officer and Michael Celada as Vice President. Frederick Solomon serves as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. With no operator footprint mapped in our corpus and a mandated tech stack listed in the FDD, software purchasing decisions appear to be made at the corporate level. Vendors should direct their outreach to these named executives.
Mandated and current tech stack
The FDD mandates several categories of software: Client Management Software, a client relations management system, Credit Card Processing Software, financial planning software, gift card software, relationship management software, scheduling software, and an HR platform. Specific vendor names are not disclosed in the available data. This mandated stack suggests the franchisor values operational consistency and centralized data management across its units.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
No Item 8 procurement extract is available, so the designated-supplier versus approved-supplier model remains unknown. Renewal terms require 120 days’ notice, a $2,500 renewal fee, and execution of the then-current Franchise Agreement. Franchisees must also be in full compliance and have not received three or more default notices in any 24-month period. These conditions create natural windows for software evaluation and vendor switching tied to the 7-year renewal cycle.
