The buyer at this brand

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 Surv

Surv operates 5 home-services locations — 4 franchised and 1 company-owned — under Cornerstone Franchise Group, alongside sibling brand FirstLight Home Care. Average unit volume runs near $1,090,548 on a 7.0% royalty, and Item 19 makes a financial performance representation. Unit count held flat year over year, so this is a stable, small network rather than one in a growth sprint.

Who controls software purchasing

Item 2 names CEO Glee McAnanly, Brand President David Dunsmuir, Chief Marketing Officer Anne Mejia, and board members Bernard B. Markey and William H. Stewart, Jr. For a brand this size operating inside a multi-brand parent, this leadership team is the practical entry point for a vendor pitch.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required

Google Business Profile is named under Item 11, though nothing in the filing requires a location to use it — the FDD mentions it without mandating it. Item 11 more broadly sets the technology and training requirements franchisees operate under.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 puts Surv on an approved-supplier list: branded items, marketing materials, and system supplies must come from the franchisor or an affiliate, and for items without a designated supplier, franchisees buy from any source meeting the franchisor's specifications, or propose one for approval. Item 17 renewal requires 180 days' prior notice, full compliance, a renewal fee, a general release, and personal guarantees from owners, for another 10-year term under the then-current agreement.
