Reins, a pioneering technology firm dedicated to empowering privately owned businesses through alternative equity solutions, announces a new relationship with CertainPath, a coaching organization that focuses on home service contractors.

Under the terms of the new collaboration, Reins will be a preferred partner within the CertainPath network, which means they will be a recommended equity solution for the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and roofing contractors who entrust CertainPath with their business development needs.

“Our innovative approach to equity, including phantom stock solutions, provides unique and effective ways for contractors to attract and retain top talent, and in today’s competitive labor market, that’s a huge advantage,” said Chris Buttenham, co-founder of Reins. “Partnering with CertainPath provides us with new avenues to serve contractors who are thinking strategically about business growth, delivering software solutions that can help them build strong teams and distinguish themselves from the competition.”

CertainPath has served home contracting businesses for more than 25 years, providing coaching solutions designed to address common anxieties among skilled trade entrepreneurs, such as hiring, training, marketing and ensuring profitability.

The organization empowers home service contractors to achieve sustained, strategic growth through professional coaching, a robust training platform, innovative software solutions, marketing services and exclusive material purchasing programs.

“Every contractor needs to have the right tools in their toolbox,” said David Hernandez, chief operating officer for CertainPath. “Reins provides some of the best tools we’ve come across for rewarding employee performance and incentivizing employee tenure, providing business owners with smart ways to maintain their top talents. We’re happy to welcome Reins as a preferred partner.”
