About STEARCLEAR

STEARCLEAR has taken franchising to the next level with a "franchise in a box" approach, providing everything a franchisee needs to run their business through an advanced iPad application. STEARCLEAR is a unique designated driver service that connects customers with local drive teams through a smartphone app. For a fee, the drive teams get both the customer and their car home safely. The company is backed by a $500,000 initial round of funding and announced yesterday that it has begun selling franchises across the United States for its smartphone enabled service. The press release is below my signature line. Designated driver services are not new, in fact there are thousands of independent services offer across the country. The founders of STEARCLEAR saw an opportunity in the market to streamline this very labor intensive and inefficient business model by combining smart phone and GPS technology with their knowledge of high-volume transactional systems to create a turn-key, fully automated business opportunity. What does the STEARCLEAR Franchise iPad App do? Pretty much everything a Franchisee needs to do to run their business. With it, the franchises don't have to process credit cards, handle paying employees or doing their tax reporting; they don't have to hire HR staff to ensure compliance with U.S. employment law, or worry with insurance and liability protections. StearClear also handles vetting the drivers, handling background checks, criminal and sexual predator checks, driving record checks, and even drug tests. STEARCLEAR has taken out much of the headaches of owning a business, simplified the process and provides a unique, beneficial service that is in demand.
