About SOHO Hero

The SOHO HERO concept was launched when savvy young entrepreneur and Atlanta resident, Chris Kouloukas, discovered that small office and home office business professionals had no place to go for meetings and other vital business services.  As a result, the SOHO HERO Business and Meeting Center concept was born, and today the company provides a comprehensive resource for business owners and professionals who work from home, telecommute or are in need of private, professional meeting, work or conference rooms.  SOHO HERO represents a new ‘world of work’ scenario that provides our Small Office, Home Office professionals, a comprehensive suite of business services, professional meeting spaces, wi-fi connections, and state-of-the-art video-teleconferencing. SOHO HERO Business and Meeting Centers provide a complete menu of presentation and communications tools and upscale meeting facilities for the ‘new mom & pop shops’ that have embraced the electronic age and understand the value of interactive business tools and opportunities. We handle all of the business services needs that our customers would normally be able to get if they worked in an office environment, but don’t have access to since they are working from their homes.

About InXpress

InXpress is a global shipping franchise that helps get the same prices and customer support for small and mid-sized businesses that carriers typically reserve for Fortune 1000 companies. We earn the discounts and increased service through cooperative buying that bundles the revenues of these small businesses together. The global freight market was $700 billion in 2013, and it’s expected to grow to $1.3 trillion by 2023, according to research from the U.S. Department of Transportation and Research and Innovative Technology. Fortune 1000 companies have resources to hire logistics experts - but what about the next 5 million companies that are have a smaller payroll and are less experienced, but that cumulatively represent a huge piece of the shipping market?

The InXpress client value proposition: less hassle + lower expenses + greater communication = opportunity

InXpress has almost 300 franchisees worldwide, and nearly 100 in the United States. Franchisees don’t handle boxes or load trucks. They act as consultants or specialists.
