Veteran and Business Partner to Take Over Intelligent Office Lincolnshire Location

New ownership

Patel is a first time owner of an Intelligent Office franchise, but Cook, a former Marine and IT executive, will now be responsible for two current, and one upcoming, Intelligent Office locations. Patel and Cook have partnered up in order to extend their reach and help a broader range of small business owners. Cook has an extensive background in leading global IT operations and in entrepreneurship as a Title Boxing Club franchise owner. He also studied Ethical Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability at Harvard after serving in the Marine Corps.

Patel graduated from Northern Illinois University and comes from 20 years of experience in the medical device industry, working for companies, such as, Covidien, Medtronic, and Boston Scientific. Today Patel is following his passion of entrepreneurship and owns multiple franchisees, including, Title Boxing Club, Forever Yogurt, and now, Intelligent Office.

“We want to expand our outreach to the Chicago area, which needs help to navigate growing businesses throughout the end of the pandemic,” said Cook. “I am excited by this opportunity to increase our support for businesses to a new market and continue to show how Intelligent Office can help local owners cut costs and focus on what matters, which is growing their business.”

Local services

The Lincolnshire location services a diverse range of businesses, ranging from attorneys, consultants, and medical centers to hair salons, electricians, and plumbers. Cook and Patel have also made it their goal to mentor other entrepreneurs and business owners while providing them with Intelligent Office’s cost-effective services.

“We are continuing to help businesses change the way they work since many of their employees are still working remotely or are on a rotating schedule in 2021,” said Patel. “It’s exciting to see the interest in Intelligent Office continue to grow across the country as business owners are starting to realize how much our services can help them cut costs and run as efficiently as possible.”

Intelligent Office’s goal is to provide the virtual assistants, rentable office space, phone answering services, and virtual mailboxes to small business owners and entrepreneurs so they can spend less money on fixed costs like leases and administrative and IT related support staff. With a wide range of virtual services that includes appointment scheduling services and CRM database management, Intelligent Office strives to help solopreneurs, micro-enterprises and SME’s exceed their goals.
