    About Rescuecom

    David A. Milman founded his first computer repair business in 1985. As his company grew, Milman saw how difficult it was to hire and retain employees to run his offices nationwide and realized franchising would be the best way to expand. In 1997, Milman formed Rescuecom Corp. to franchise his computer service system.
    Rescuecom franchisees offer on-site computer repair, maintenance and installation.
