Consumer Research and Referral Directory Company #66542 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Founded in 2009, this Company provides a directory of certified service providers allowing consumers to confidently make an informed buying or hiring decision when searching for local businesses to assist them with their needs. This business serves the Home Services Industry by giving service companies a trusted, proof-based platform to promote their service, and is a reliable resource for consumers when they are looking for a local service provider. The Company investigates, certifies, and recommends companies to determine if businesses meet a transparent standard inspection. A select number of top performers are then confirmed and promoted, and the Company provides a $10,000 Make It Right Guarantee of their performance for the consumer. This Company's clear competitive advantage is its ease of use for consumers (seconds compared to tens of minutes with Angi.com or Home advisor), and its proven conversion of site traffic where visitors are not "shoppers" but buyers. Headquartered in Georgia, they operate out a 5,000 square foot office and studio space. Success in the industry is driven by a growth in the number of higher-income households, the increased popularity and usage of digital resources, superior after sales service, and a great reputation. This company excels in each of these areas and has the infrastructure, software and processes in place to scale regionally and nationally. The desired acquirer for this company would be an investment partner to achieve the goal of national expansion.
