Why Senior Relocation?

$30B+ senior relocation & transitions market; ~5.4% CAGR.
“Fragmented Aging”: adult children often live far away, increasing demand for local, professional support.

How The Model Works

At its core, you lead a streamlined, project-led service built on trust and repeat referrals while the platform standardizes the back office. The model is designed to keep operations lean, centralize day-to-day work, and accelerate time-to-launch, then align the economics with scale. Here’s how it comes together:

Home Based

Asset‑light operations: no trucks or permanent crews; use vetted, on‑demand labor

STWare

Proprietary software: quoting, scheduling, CRM, KPI tracking, invoicing, and marketing tools

Quick Launch

30‑day launch playbook: training, on‑site support, and ready‑to‑run campaigns

Sliding Royalties

No royalties above $900,000 in annual gross sales; which means you keep more revenue as you scale.
