The franchisor is Trident Investment Partners, Inc. d/b/a Handyman Connection, an Illinois corporation formed in 2013. It has offered Handyman Connection franchises in the United States since January 2014. Its principal business address is 11115 Kenwood Road, Blue Ash, Ohio 45242.

We offer franchises for the establishment and development of businesses providing (a) referral and other services to independent contractors; and (b) small to medium home repair services and light remodeling of a non-emergency nature, including plumbing, electrical, carpentry, dry wall, plastering, and painting services, among other services (“Franchised Business”). The light repair and remodeling services provided by Franchised Businesses do not require heavy machinery and are usually not performed beyond a two-story elevation. All services are performed by independent contractors or employees who are recruited by you and who are part of your Franchised Business's network of service providers. In general, each customer is charged a flat fee per job, a portion of which is paid to the service provider. Unless otherwise approved by Handyman Connection, until you complete the Second Calendar Year, jobs cannot exceed $15,000 per project, or $30,000 in the aggregate. We do not grant franchisees any exclusive territorial rights and franchisees are only purchasing the rights to receive and service the new, residential leads located in their territory that are received through our lead generation internet platform or our centralized telephone phone number used in connection with the System. The residential work you perform will be referred to as “Residential Services”. Other franchisees may perform commercial work and residential work inside your Territory for customers who directly reach out to such other franchisees or franchisees to such customers, without any compensation to you. Subject to: (i) your completion of any Certificate Programs; (ii) our right to perform services for National and Regional Accounts in your Territory; and (iii) you being in full compliance of the Franchise Agreement, you may perform commercial work in your Territory, subject to our written permission. You agree and acknowledge that you do not own the exclusive rights, nor any exclusivity, to perform any commercial work in the Territory. There are franchisees in the System that do maintain exclusivity in their market-place for both residential work and commercial work and for these specific franchisees, no work may be performed in their territory without their permission. Franchised Businesses are operated under a system distinguished by uniform standards and specifications for recruiting and providing referral services to independent contractors; sales techniques; merchandising, marketing, advertising, and inventory management systems; as well as general procedures for operating and managing a Franchised Business (the “System”). We identify Franchised Businesses and the System using certain trade names, service marks, trademarks, logos, emblems, and indicia of origin, including, but not limited to, the mark “Handyman Connection®,” distinctive trade dress, and any other trade names, trademarks, and service marks as we now or in the future may designate in writing for use in connection with the System (the "Proprietary Marks"). We continue to develop, use, and control the use of any Proprietary Marks to identify for the public the source of products and services marketed under the System, and to represent the System's high standards of quality, appearance, and service. During the term of the Franchise Agreement, you must, at all times, develop and operate your Handyman Connection Franchised Business in compliance with all Handyman Connection System Standards and the Manuals, as we may modify in the future. You should note that we may obtain Handyman Connection Advisory Council (“HCAC”) input before making changes to the standards, requirements or procedures that represent an additional investment by most or all franchisees in excess of $5,000 within the 12 months following the effective date of any changes.
