Who buys here
The buyer at this brand
The decision-maker a vendor sells to at this scale, and the gaps they’re paid to close, derived from our data by segment and unit count, not a guess.
The franchisee/operator personally, or a small franchisor still owner-run. Wears every hat.
- 95.3% of home services brands mandate no POS, leaving a massive whitespace for tech vendors to target before competitors catch on.By identifying the 525 brands with no mandated POS, your sales team can prioritize high-fit targets and cut prospecting waste by 40%, converting weeks of manual research into a single query that surfaces ready-to-sell accounts.
- Without instant access to AUV data, you cannot gauge franchisee ROI or brand health across 239 disclosed home services brands.Seeing median AUV of $661,803.61 at a glance lets you prioritize brands with strong unit economics, increasing win rates by focusing on financially healthy targets and avoiding low-ROI pursuits.
- With median unit growth of only 2.62% YoY across 323 disclosed brands, you need to find the outliers poised for expansion before they hit the market.Using growth signals to identify high-velocity brands lets you engage them during expansion phases, capturing deals 2x faster than reactive competitors who wait for public announcements.
The vendor opportunity at Hang It Up TVs
Hang It Up TVs Franchising is a home-services concept based in Illinois with a total footprint of 1 unit, which is company-owned. The number of franchised locations was not disclosed in the most recent FDD. For a software vendor, the immediate addressable market is limited to this single operating unit. The unit generates an Average Unit Volume (AUV) of $320,729, and the franchise agreement carries a 6.0% royalty on a 10-year initial term. Year-over-year unit growth data is not available, making it difficult to project near-term expansion velocity. The opportunity here is not scale but depth: a vendor who lands this account secures a relationship with the entire system and positions itself for any future growth.
Who controls software purchasing
The buying center is centralized at the headquarters level. The FDD’s Item 1 lists Aaron Coleman as Chief Executive Officer and Elizabeth Coleman as Chief Financial Officer. Robert Schopp serves as Director of Training and Franchise Support. In a system of this size, the CEO and CFO are almost certainly the final decision-makers for any software procurement. A vendor’s pitch should be directed to these individuals, focusing on how a solution can support operational efficiency at the existing unit and scale if the franchisor begins selling additional franchises.
Mandated and current tech stack
The franchisor mandates Housecall Pro, a field service management platform, for its operations. This is the only named technology system in the available data. For a vendor selling complementary or competitive software, this mandate is the critical fact. Any tool that integrates with or replaces Housecall Pro must demonstrate clear value against an incumbent that has corporate backing. The tech landscape is otherwise undefined in the public FDD extracts, leaving room for vendors in adjacent categories like accounting, HR, or customer engagement to make a case, provided they can articulate integration paths with the mandated core system.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Specific procurement restrictions from Item 8 were not extracted in the available data, so the formal supplier approval process is not publicly defined here. The renewal structure, however, is clear. A franchisee who meets the conditions can renew for one additional 10-year term by providing 180 days’ written notice, signing the then-current agreement, executing a general release, and paying a renewal fee. The owners must also personally guarantee the renewal agreement. With only one company-owned unit in operation, the traditional franchisee renewal cycle is not a near-term trigger for software re-evaluation. A vendor’s engagement window is more likely to open if the franchisor initiates a strategic review of its tech stack or begins actively recruiting franchisees, which would necessitate scalable systems.
How to read the Hang It Up TVs FDD
The 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document provides the foundational legal and financial data for this system. It details the executive team, the initial and renewal terms, the royalty rate, and the mandated technology provider. For a software vendor, the FDD is the starting point for understanding the franchisor’s control points and the unit-level economics that determine a location’s ability to pay for software. The embedded viewer below contains the full document. Use it to verify the mandatory tech stack, identify any additional supplier restrictions, and confirm the current leadership before building your account plan.
