Five Star Franchising, a growing platform of home services franchise opportunities, has chosen Ben Kramer to lead Bio-One, a trusted provider of crime scene cleanup and biohazard decontamination services. Kramer has assumed the role of Brand President, and will provide leadership both for daily operations and for long-term expansion.
Kramer is new to the Five Star Franchising platform but not to the world of home service franchising. His professional experience includes executive-level roles at nationally-known home service franchising systems, including positions as Brand President and Senior Vice President of Operations. In a previous role, he led the brand in a notable turnaround, from six-figure monthly losses to break even in 90 days. Kramer also rebuilt the company’s sales team, following a season of 60% turnover.
“Ben is a skilled operator and teambuilder, but he’s also an effective ambassador for company culture,” said Andrew Mengason, Chief Growth Officer for Five Star Franchising. “He demonstrates a natural affinity for the Five Star DRIVE ethos—the shared values that provide all of our franchises with a common identity and unified purpose.”
Bio-One provides franchise opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs who wish to offer meaningful help and support to their neighbors during times of great need, with the franchise’s primary service offerings including clean-up and decontamination following crimes and other traumatic events. Bio-One offers low startup costs, minimal requirements for previous experience and significant opportunities to become a trusted community resource.
“The mantra at Bio-One has always been help first, business second,” said Kramer. “It’s exciting to step into a business that attracts so many community-minded people, yet also offers a proven model for scalable business success.
