In 2011, the HELP Confort franchise continued the development phase that began in 2010. To secure its deployment, the specialist brand for repairs and domestic emergencies, initially equipped itself with efficient operational tools.


At the origin of this new growth dynamic, the restructuring of the network: In April 2009, SARL HELP Confort granted the French master franchise to SAS HELP Confort Développement. A new team led by Bernard Tardy(1) then devoted its expertise in the management and development of franchise networks to the benefit of the brand.

For 2 years, the master franchisor remained focused on the implementation of operational tools to support franchisees and secure their business creation. Thus, HELP Confort has successively seen the following materialize:

 

  • the putting online of theNext-generation intranet,

  • la new operating Bible (more than 1.000 pages of know-how available to network members),

  • the establishment of a group contract advantageous, for theprofessional and ten-year civil liability insurance for franchisees,

  • la new graphic charter, which is then available on all communication media,

  • the establishment of « 36 20 Say HELP », a single national number available to consumers, for local contact,

  • an agreement of partnership with FORD,

  • two people national partnerships with AXA Assistance et Global Assistance,

  • the establishment of a call center, a service designed to accelerate the start-up of business for new HELP Confort franchisees.

 

Punctuated by the arrival of three new franchisees, 3 provided the impetus. In 2010, HELP Confort continued its expansion. After Lille (59), Toulouse (31), Nantes (44) and Lamballe (22), the emergency home care provider will welcome 7 to 10 additional franchisees into its network. The HELP Comfort network will have around twenty franchisees by the end of March 2012.
