The holiday season has a beautiful way of reminding us what truly matters. We are incredibly grateful to work alongside colleagues who lead with generosity and heart.
This year, our team came together for the Adopt-A-Family initiative, shopping for, wrapping, and delivering gifts to families in need, and it became our most meaningful and successful year of giving yet.
We're proud of our team and thankful for the opportunity to give back together.

The SMB Summit was fantastic! Steve Beagelman, Brian Luciani, Dawn Abbamondi (CFE), Joanne Hoyer (CFE), Lisa Saad, and the entire SMB Franchise Advisors team, thank you for another incredible event. The thought and care you put into bringing this community together shows, and we're grateful to be part of it.
Dan DiZio shared his story, and the room was hooked. He started selling pretzels on Philadelphia street corners when he was 11. Now he's built Philly Pretzel Factory into a national franchise. That's the kind of grit and persistence that makes franchising work.
The room was full of driven people who are talented at what they do and passionate about building something real. Established franchisors comparing notes on growth strategies. Aspiring entrepreneurs asking the hard questions about what it really takes.
Meeting clients and industry friends in person was a blast for our team. Supporting entrepreneurs and their dreams is the best part of our job.
Thank you again to the SMB team for creating such a great space for this community!

Most franchise brands evolve from a single location. Puddle Pool Services was engineered to scale from day one.
Mark Amery spent two years on R&D before launching Puddle Pool Services in 2022. By then, he'd already built multiple franchise brands in window cleaning, landscaping, and pest control. He knew the pain points. He wasn't guessing.
Today, Puddle Pool Services offers full residential and commercial pool maintenance with a proprietary CRM that lets franchisees run their entire business from their phone. The leadership team has been with Mark for over 13 years. The system is built for multi-unit growth and franchisee autonomy.

That changed when he found the right franchise law firm.
