Training & Support
We Set You Up for Success—From Day One and Beyond
At 101 Mobility, we understand that launching a business is a big step—which is why we’ve built a powerful training and support system to guide you every step of the way. You'll begin with a structured onboarding process that includes access to our technology systems, a pre-training checklist, and guidance on critical startup steps like business licensing, insurance, and location selection. Ultimately you will join us for an immersive two-week training program at our national support center in Wilmington, NC. Week one focuses on hands-on product installation and technical training for your installer, while week two equips you, the franchise owner, with the tools to master sales, marketing, operations, and finance.
But our support doesn’t end there. After your business launches, a dedicated Franchise Business Consultant will visit your market for several days of in-field support and stay connected with you through regular coaching calls tailored to your growth. You’ll also gain access to our robust eLearning platform and in-person training sessions designed for every role in your business—from office managers to installers. With a national conference, peer networking, and continuous learning opportunities, 101 Mobility surrounds you with the tools, training, and team to thrive in a purpose-driven, high-growth business.
History
Founded in 2008 by Keith Barnhardt and Luke Sampson in Wilmington, NC, with the goal of providing accessibility and mobility equipment to veterans, individuals with disabilities and seniors. The company started with a focus on serving the local community and then expanded to become a franchise system in 2010. Both founders are currently franchisees in the 101 Mobility network of owners.
Today 101 Mobility has close to 200 territories across the US and Canada and ample opportunity for new franchisees.
