From Independent Business Owner to Franchise Empire Builder: Finding the Perfect Fit with Aire Serv
on
A New Chapter in Business Ownership
Every franchise story stands out in its own way— and this one proves how entrepreneurial drive can evolve into something even bigger.
After launching and later selling a transportation company that provided critical services to seniors and veterans, this client was ready for his next challenge. He thrived on being a valued part of his community, but he knew that franchise ownership offered the path to build real wealth and a lasting business legacy.
Why Aire Serv
From the start, this client focused on the home services industry and narrowed his options to two leading brands: Both offered strong potential, but Aire Serv quickly stood out.
The proven systems, powerful brand reputation, and the unmatched backing of Neighborly Brands made Aire Serv the clear choice. With structured training, marketing support, and operational resources already in place, this franchise provided the ideal platform to grow quickly and scale confidently.
A Process Fueled by Focus and Action
Although he initially explored several other franchise opportunities, learning about Aire Serv’s long-standing reputation and the power of the Neighborly network made his choice clear. Once he saw the potential, he didn’t hesitate—he moved forward with confidence.
Quote from Scott Hoots, Franchise Coach:
“This client came to me highly motivated and laser-focused on the home services sector. After selling his independent transportation business, he wanted something scalable with strong brand support. When we explored Aire Serv, everything clicked — and once that light went off, he moved immediately. That’s what successful entrepreneurs do.”
Location
The new Aire Serv franchise will open in Fort Mill, SC, delivering trusted, high-quality HVAC services backed by the Neighborly brand family.
