Plan B Network Services

What Plan B Network Services does

ELR Group, L.L.C., the operating entity reflected in the source data, is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based business services firm that delivers three integrated service lines to small and medium-sized businesses: professional business consulting and strategy advisory, specialized technical and IT support, and comprehensive administrative/back-office services. The company also operates Servicemen Home Services, a sub-brand providing licensed residential and commercial property services (electrical repairs and upgrades, plumbing, carpentry, drywall, flooring, painting, TV mounting, pressure washing, and general handyman work) across Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, serving homeowners, landlords, restaurants, and businesses.

The firm's core technology stack is described generically as "general IT support and technical solutions infrastructure" with no proprietary platforms, patents, trademarks, or disclosed integrations. Products are delivered as professional services and managed services engagements rather than packaged software. The website (elrgroup.org) serves as the primary digital presence, combining content marketing, customer testimonials, and consultation CTAs to drive direct consulting leads.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, project and retainer engagements (professional services and managed services) with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market model is sales-led and consultative, relying on direct client engagement and a "Request a Consultation" conversion path rather than self-serve or channel-led distribution. Geographic scope is regional, concentrated in South Florida, with SMBs in the Fort Lauderdale metro as the primary customer segment.
