Territory check best practices:
- If you’re focused on a single Neighborly brand (ex. Mr. Rooter), submit the check for that brand through IFPG. If it’s available, a Mr. Rooter developer will reach out to you.
- If Mr. Rooter is sold out, someone from our Broker Relations department will reach out with a list of other Neighborly brands available in your requested area.
- If you’re wondering about all Neighborly brands in a specific area, you may send your territory check directly to Broker Relations at territorycheck@nbly.com. A specialist will let you know every franchise opportunity with white space in your requested area.
- Submit zip code (especially for major metros) rather than the city name.
- Include client’s name so we can keep it in our records in case there are any registration questions in the future.
