Liftology Launches National Franchise System to Redefine Home Accessibility Through Dignity and Freedom

2026-10-13 19:03 Last Updated At:19:20

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 13, 2026--

Liftology, a premier national home accessibility company, officially announced today the launch of its national franchise rollout plan. Led by an executive team of industry veterans, Liftology enters the market to redefine how a rapidly expanding aging population can safely, comfortably, and independently maintain aging-in-place options.

Liftology directly addresses an unprecedented demographic shift by delivering a highly practical, solutions-driven approach to home accessibility. Backed by more than 78 years of combined industry experience, the company combines expert consultation, professional installation, and ongoing service with a compassionate, education-first approach.

This rollout plan addresses a critical reality in the shifting longevity economy. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau and AARP, the age 65+ population generated $12.5 trillion in annual economic activity in 2024, with 75% of those adults explicitly desiring to remain in their current homes as they age. However, maintaining safe independent living options remains a steep structural challenge; more than 14 million older adults report falls each year – resulting in $80 billion in annual medical costs – while the number of family caregivers has surged to 63 million nationwide.

The Liftology Difference: National Infrastructure, Local Heart

Unlike independent local dealers who often face fragmented supply chains and limited support, Liftology provides a robust infrastructure designed to give its franchise partners an instant market advantage while prioritizing the human element of care. Franchisees benefit from deep, negotiated national partnerships with premier manufacturers, guaranteeing competitive equipment pricing, robust logistics, and rapid shipping times for consumers.

Through its growing network of locally owned franchises, Liftology provides an uncompromised range of personalized mobility solutions. The company's comprehensive product portfolio includes stairlifts, wheelchair ramps, residential elevators, patient lifts, transfer equipment, vertical platform lifts, vehicle lifts, and more.

Anchored by Proven Industry Pioneers

Liftology’s foundation is built upon decades of dedicated service, guided by its visionary founders:

A Human-First Approach to Mobility

What sets Liftology apart in the longevity economy is its fundamental corporate philosophy. Every client interaction is treated not as a transactional equipment sale, but as a critical intervention to restore a family's peace of mind. This high-touch, empathetic approach dictates how the corporate team operates and sets the benchmark for the franchise network.

The central focus appearing across the entire system is "Mobility Made Simple." The brand is built on a simple belief that everyone deserves the freedom to live safely and independently in the home they love and the communities they thrive in. Liftology's leadership understands that a physical staircase is not the true problem; the real issue is a loved one missing bedtime stories upstairs, holiday dinners with family, or everyday personal independence.

"Accessibility is about people before products," said David Pazgan, Founder & CEO of Liftology. "We don't sell accessibility products; we help people stay connected to the lives they've built. We built Liftology to take everything we've learned over two decades of creating the franchise customer experience, support systems, and leadership cultures that this industry deserves, distilling it into a brand that pairs absolute technical expertise with a deeply personal, service-oriented heart."

Vetting Franchisees as Community Leaders

This core mission explicitly shapes Liftology’s strict approach to territory expansion and partner recruitment. The company's business model is engineered around active ownership, filtering out absentee investors in favor of hands-on operators who embrace continuous learning, character, and long-term accountability.

"Liftology was never designed for passive ownership," said Gordon Raney, Co-Founder and Director of Franchisee Development. "Our franchise partners aren't just business owners; they are community pillars and trusted advisors who build high-performance teams, establish clinical referral relationships, and earn local trust. Our active owners are educators, consultants, and advocates who listen first, recommend second, and serve always. We know that every installation represents a family standing at a crossroads, and our brand promise is to help those families keep saying 'yes' to living life on their own terms."

Proven Track Record and Strategic National Growth

Demonstrating immediate market validation and strong consumer demand, Liftology has already secured key initial territories across the country, including Little Rock, Arkansas; Jacksonville, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri; Charlotte, North Carolina; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Houston, Texas.

As part of its structured national expansion track, Liftology is actively awarding exclusive territories to qualified executive-level professionals and growth-minded entrepreneurs in high-demand strategic growth markets, including multi-territory opportunities across Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Arizona, alongside numerous single-location opportunities nationwide.

Franchise partners benefit from a highly scalable service model built on direct private-pay transactions, predictable operational infrastructure, and a robust pipeline driven by clinical and community referral networks. Complete startup investment details, comprehensive franchise fees, and special incentive programs for qualified veterans are available upon request through the company’s dedicated franchise development website, goliftology.com.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261013252743/en/

Hedge fund flows as measured by the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index declined 0.16% in October.

"SS&C GlobeOp's Capital Movement Index for October 2026 was -0.16%, which was consistent with quarter-end rebalancing patterns," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SS&C Technologies. "Heading into the last calendar quarter of the year, investors face a number of market risks, including potential congressional changes from the U.S. midterm elections, additional rate hikes, lingering geopolitical conflicts, and volatile energy prices. Hedge funds remain an attractive option for investors during uncertain periods, helping to dampen drawdowns and enhance risk-adjusted returns."

SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index

The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is an asset-weighted, independent monthly window on hedge fund performance. On the ninth business day of each month it provides a flash estimate of the gross aggregate performance of funds for which SS&C GlobeOp provides monthly administration services on the SS&C GlobeOp platform. Interim and final values, both gross and net, are provided in each of the two following months, respectively. Online data can be segmented by gross and net performance, and by time periods. The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is transparent, consistent in data processing, and free from selection or survivorship bias. Its inception date is January 1, 2006.

The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index offers a unique reflection of the return on capital invested in funds. It does not overstate exposure to, or the contribution of, any single strategy to aggregate hedge fund performance. Since its inception, the correlation of the SS&C GlobeOp Performance Index to many popular equity market indices has been approximately 25% to 30%. This is substantially lower than the equivalent correlation of other widely followed hedge fund performance indices.

SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index

The SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index represents the monthly net of hedge fund subscriptions and redemptions administered by SS&C GlobeOp on the SS&C GlobeOp platform. This monthly net is divided by the total assets under administration (AuA) for fund administration clients on the SS&C GlobeOp platform.

Cumulatively, the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index for October 2026 stands at 132.94 points, a decrease of 0.16 points over September 2026. The Index has advanced 5.45 points over the past 12 months. The next publication date is November 12, 2026.

Published on the ninth business day of each month, the SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index presents a timely and accurate view of investments in hedge funds on the SS&C GlobeOp administration platform. Data is based on actual subscriptions and redemptions independently calculated and confirmed from real capital movements, and published only a few business days after they occur. Following the month of its release, the Index may be updated for capital movements that occurred after the fifth business day.

About the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Index ®

The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Index (the Index) is a family of indices published by SS&C GlobeOp. A unique set of indices by a hedge fund administrator, it offers clients, investors and the overall market a welcome transparency on liquidity, investor sentiment and performance. The Index is based on a significant platform of diverse and representative assets.

The SS&C GlobeOp Capital Movement Index and the SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator provide monthly reports based on actual and anticipated capital movement data independently collected from all hedge fund clients for whom SS&C GlobeOp provides administration services on the SS&C GlobeOp platform.

The SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Performance Index is an asset-weighted benchmark of the aggregate performance of funds for which SS&C GlobeOp provides monthly administration services on the SS&C GlobeOp platform. Flash estimate, interim and final values are provided, in each of three months respectively, following each business month-end.

While individual fund data is anonymized by aggregation, the SS&C GlobeOp Hedge Fund Index data will be based on the same reconciled fund data that SS&C GlobeOp uses to produce fund net asset values (NAV). Funds acquired through the acquisition of Citi Alternative Investor Services are integrated into the index suite starting with the January 2017 reporting periods. SS&C GlobeOp’s total assets under administration on the SS&C GlobeOp platform represent approximately 10% of the estimated assets currently invested in the hedge fund sector. The investment strategies of the funds in the indices span a representative industry sample. Data for middle and back office clients who are not fund administration clients is not included in the Index, but is included in the Company’s results announcement figures.
