The duo has announced its first master franchise deal with US group Senior Helpers since launching their consultancy business Group Seven last year.
The deal comes three years after Mr Wheeler and co-founder Bryan Stokes sold down their share of the successful global Cartridge World business for a reported $70 million. Group Seven aims to build a $150 million business in the next seven years as it opens 75 and 100 outlets across Australia and New Zealand to offer non-medical help to the elderly in their homes.
Mr Fuller said Australia was "crying out for an organised alternative" to services which help the elderly live in their own homes.
