HUDSON VALLEY ENTREPRENEUR JENN MAHER ELEVATES BEYOND LIMITS AND JOINS COLLABORATIVE FRANCHISE SYSTEMS AS MANAGING PARTNER OF SERVICES
First-of-Its-Kind Hybrid Franchise Coaching Platform Partners with One of the Industry's Most Respected Advisory Leaders
MAHOPAC, NY — Jenn Maher, Mahopac and Cabarete RD-based entrepreneur and newly Certified Investment Grade Architect, today announced two significant milestones: the elevation of Beyond Limits — her hybrid SaaS, human coaching, and community platform — to include a coach certification program that will allow certified coaches to deliver the Strategy, Structure, and Soul framework inside franchise systems nationwide, and her appointment as Managing Partner of Services at Collaborative Franchise Systems (CFS). Through the partnership, which grew out of their shared involvement in the Wealth Exponential mastermind community, CFS will offer Beyond Limits to its franchise clients as a featured service, addressing what industry research identifies as one of franchising's most critical gaps: fewer than 10% of franchise systems meet the standard of a true Investment Grade Franchise.
Beyond Limits is the first franchise-embedded entrepreneurial development platform of its kind. Combining a 24-module software platform with live 1:1 and group coaching and a private entrepreneur community, the program delivers Strategy, Structure, and Soul to every franchisee at the moment they sign, before they open their doors.
"The franchise industry has perfected the operations manual. What it has never solved is the identity gap, the distance between someone who can run a location and someone who can build a business, create wealth, and grow a network. Beyond Limits closes that gap." — Jenn Maher, Founder of Beyond Limits and Managing Partner of Services, Collaborative Franchise Systems
Maher brings more than two decades of business coaching experience to both roles, a 30-year real estate career in the Putnam and Westchester market, and her tenure as Founding Chairwoman of the Putnam County Business Council.As one of a select group of newly Certified Investment Grade Architects trained directly by Dr. Needham, she is uniquely qualified to evaluate, design, and build franchise systems that meet the Investment Grade standard and to develop the franchisees who run them. Beyond Limits delivers Strategy, Structure, and Soul across a hybrid model of software, live coaching, and community — built to scale without dependency on any single person. A coach certification program is in development, with licensing and franchising of the model planned for early 2027.
"In 35 years of working with franchise systems, I have never seen a program that addresses what Beyond Limits addresses. The identity and entrepreneurial development of the franchisee is the missing piece in almost every system I have worked with." — Dr. Robert A. Needham, Founder and Senior Advisor, Collaborative Franchise Systems
"When a franchisor can tell a prospective franchisee they will receive a full entrepreneurial development program at signing, that is a competitive differentiator that closes deals and builds the kind of franchisee who comes back for a second and third unit." — Bob Blizzard, Partner and Franchise Acquisition Advisor, Collaborative Franchise Systems
