The vendor opportunity at ProLift Garage Doors
ProLift Garage Doors runs 70 franchised units with an AUV of $454,394 and a 6.0% royalty, and its 2025 FDD makes a financial performance representation in Item 19. Unit count fell 25.5% year over year, which usually means an active resale and re-signing market — a moment when operators reconsider their vendor stack.
Who controls software purchasing
Control splits in two. Item 8 requires franchisees to buy contact center services and the initial setup of business management and website software directly from Empower Brands or an affiliate. CEO Paul Flick, COO Roxanne Conrad, and General Counsel Nathan King are named in Item 2. Past that setup step, the 82 mapped operators — concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, with only 4 running more than one unit — make their own choices among field tools.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Angi, CareerPlug, Choice Local, FranConnect, QuickBooks Online, Rallio, and ServiceTitan all appear in Items 8 and 11. None of them carries a purchase obligation — the FDD requires none of the systems it names, so each one is a named vendor in the filing rather than a locked-in incumbent.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list: certain services (contact center, tech setup, accounting) must come from Empower Brands or its affiliate, other purchases from approved vendors or any source meeting specifications, and franchisees can propose their own supplier for approval. Renewal under Item 17 runs another 10 years and requires good standing, no defaults, updated vehicles, and a then-current agreement that may carry different terms.

Questions vendors ask
ProLift Garage Doors, answered from the filing
Empower Brands, ProLift's parent, controls the initial setup of business management software and website technology under Item 8. Beyond that setup, day-to-day tool choice sits with ProLift's 82 mapped operators, most of them single-unit owners across Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee.
The FDD requires none of the systems it names — Angi, CareerPlug, Choice Local, FranConnect, QuickBooks Online, Rallio, and ServiceTitan are all listed in Items 8 and 11 without a purchase obligation attached.
70 total units, all franchised, spread across a home-services footprint led by Texas (16), Georgia (8), Tennessee (7), and North Carolina (7).
Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list. Contact center services, website setup, and business management software setup must be purchased from the franchisor or an affiliate; other goods can come from approved vendors or any source meeting Empower Brands' specifications, and franchisees may propose alternatives for approval.
The 10-year initial term and renewal terms under Item 17 both run 10 years, requiring good standing and a signed then-current agreement. With unit count down 25.5% year over year, the more active near-term opening is at the vehicle and business-software refresh Item 17 requires at renewal.
