LOS ANGELES, Calif., March 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In his powerful new book, “Home Service Empire: How I Built, Scaled, and Sold a Family of Businesses Worth Over $100 Million” (ISBN: 978-196833-852 paperback; 978-1968339869 ebook; 978-1968339845 hardcover; Legacy Launch Pad Publishing), entrepreneur Cameron Bawden shares the battle-tested blueprint behind building one of Arizona’s largest privately owned home service companies—and exiting on his terms.

Bawden didn’t start with venture capital, an MBA, or industry connections. He started knocking on doors in the Arizona heat, spraying pest-infested backyards himself, and questioning whether he’d made a catastrophic mistake. After years of grinding, near bankruptcy, federal audits, and $4 million of debt, he transformed Green Mango Pest Control into a $27 million-per-year operation with 30%+ profit margins – ultimately fielding offers of $40 million, $50 million, and $60 million before closing on a life-changing exit in 2024.

In “Home Service Empire,” Bawden introduces what he calls the “Value Vortex,” a nine-point framework designed to help entrepreneurs build scalable, sellable companies without sacrificing their families, health, or sanity. Drawing from seven businesses launched, five exits totaling more than $100 million, and dozens of private equity negotiations, he reveals what buyers actually value and how founders can build with leverage from day one.

“Building to sell isn’t about cashing out,” Bawden says. “It’s about never feeling trapped again. When you build a business that works without you, you gain options. You gain freedom. You gain control.”

The book challenges the romanticized “hustle at all costs” narrative and replaces it with a systems-driven, identity-first approach. Bawden argues that entrepreneurs must evolve from operator to owner if they want to create true enterprise value. Through candid stories of failure, resilience, and reinvention – including walking away from multiple businesses and navigating a $400,000 federal fine—he delivers a practical roadmap for turning service businesses into premium, acquisition-ready assets.

As demand for skilled trades and home services continues to surge nationwide, “Home Service Empire” arrives at a pivotal moment for contractors, founders, and blue-collar entrepreneurs seeking to scale beyond owner-operator status and build companies that command top-dollar valuations.

Cameron Bawden’s groundbreaking business memoir and playbook, “Home Service Empire,” is available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major booksellers.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Secured Signing, a leading provider of tamperproof Digital Signatures and Online Notary solutions, is proud to announce its official approval as a trusted provider for Remote Online Notarization (RON) and In Person Electronic Notarization (IPEN) in nearly 40 U.S. states.

Image caption: Secured Signing Achieves Approval for RON and IPEN in Rhode Island and South Carolina.

The latest states to grant approval include:

• South Carolina – approved for IPEN
• Rhode Island – approved for both RON and IPEN

These additions mark a significant milestone in Secured Signing’s mission to equip independent notaries, enterprise notary teams, and organizations with the most secure, compliant, and future ready notarization tools available.

With approval in both states, more than 200,000 notaries now have access to the Secured Signing Notary solution.

Rhode Island, a major regional banking center, and South Carolina, known for its strong financial services presence, represent strategically important markets. As the banking and legal sectors continue their rapid transition toward digital workflows, Secured Signing’s expansion into these states underscores its commitment to supporting the nationwide shift toward secure, efficient, and fully compliant online notarization.

MEETING THE NATIONWIDE DEMAND FOR SECURE ONLINE NOTARIZATION

As of 2026, most states accepting RON and IPEN notarizations. While specific identity proofing and security protocols vary by jurisdiction, the shift toward a digital-first notarization process is nationwide in the banking and real estate industries. Secured Signing’s expansion ensures that more notaries can meet this demand using a platform built on cryptographic security and user-centric design.

At the same time, recent federal policy developments, most notably the Promoting Access to Mortgage Credit Executive Order; are accelerating digital transformation across the U.S. housing finance ecosystem. The Order emphasizes reducing regulatory friction and modernizing mortgage processes, creating a powerful tailwind for secure digital notarization solutions.

ENABLING THE DIGITAL MORTGAGE TRANSFORMATION

The Executive Order represents one of the most significant shifts toward a fully digital mortgage ecosystem in decades. Secured Signing is uniquely positioned to help financial institutions align with these new mandates:

• Eliminating “Wet-Signature” Barriers
  The Order calls for removing unnecessary paper-based signature requirements. Secured Signing’s PKI-based digital signatures provide a seamless transition to fully digital workflows without compromising legal enforceability or long-term document integrity.
• Advanced Fraud Prevention Through Identity Verification
  As digital adoption increases, so does the need for secure identity verification. Secured Signing integrates biometric face matching, 3D liveness detection, and deepfake detection technology to deliver a multi-layered defense against fraud.
• Modernizing In-Person Closings with IPEN
  For institutions that value face-to-face interaction, IPEN offers a fully digital, paperless notarization process while preserving in-person verification—bridging traditional practices with modern efficiency.
• Standardizing Remote Online Notarization (RON)
  The push for standardized acceptance of eSignatures and RON aligns directly with Secured Signing’s all-in-one platform, enabling remote closings that reduce costs and increase accessibility.
• Secure Digital Audit Trails and Compliance
  With automated time-stamping and comprehensive audit trails, Secured Signing supports secure execution of time-sensitive documents such as rescission notices while minimizing compliance risks.
• Accelerating Document Workflows and Integration
  Through API integrations and Smart Tagging, Secured Signing enables faster collateral processing and seamless document flow into downstream systems, reducing manual workloads and delays.

LAYERS OF FRAUD PROTECTION: THE SECURED SIGNING ADVANTAGE

Secured Signing prioritizes authentication at every stage. Built-in real-time identity verification, biometric face matching, and deepfake detection ensure that every signer is verified with confidence.

With its all-inclusive annual subscription, notaries and organizations gain access to robust fraud protection embedded across the entire signing experience.

“With Secured Signing, you’re not just notarizing documents online. You’re using a fraud-proof, legally binding, and highly reliable platform built for today’s digital world,” said Mike Eyal, CEO of Secured Signing. “As the industry moves toward digital mortgages and modernized workflows, trust, compliance, and security have never been more critical.”

WHY NOTARIES AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ARE CHOOSING SECURED SIGNING

Recognized in recent industry evaluations as a “Best Value” and features rich platform, Secured Signing stands apart from one-size-fits-all solutions. It is designed to serve diverse sectors, including real estate, legal, finance, and government, while remaining accessible to independent notaries.

EMPOWERING THE MODERN NOTARY AND ENTERPRISE

LONDON, UK, March 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Coda One has built two tools that probably shouldn’t exist in the same company. One rewrites AI-generated text so it reads like a person wrote it. The other scans any text and tells you exactly how much of it looks machine-made. Both are free. Neither requires an account.

Image caption: Image caption: Before and after: Coda One’s AI Humanizer drops a detection score from 56% to 12% in one click.

The London-based startup launched both tools on the same platform, and founder Miles Wong doesn’t see a contradiction.

“Everyone’s using AI to write now. That’s not the issue,” Miles said. “The issue is that most of it reads like AI wrote it — and Google knows, your editor knows, your professor knows. We built one tool for the people writing, and one for the people checking. Turns out they’re often the same person.”

The humanizer isn’t subtle about what it does. Paste in a block of ChatGPT output, pick a mode — Academic, Blog, Formal, or six others — and it comes back rewritten. Different sentence lengths. Different word choices. The kind of small imperfections that make text feel human. Miles says the output consistently passes major detection platforms including GPTZero, Turnitin, and Originality.ai.

The detector works the other way. Feed it any text and it highlights sentences that look AI-generated, with a probability score for each. It’s free with no daily cap — Wong’s reasoning being that if you’re going to sell a humanizer, you’d better give people a way to check the result.

What’s interesting is who’s actually using these tools. It’s not mainly students. Wong says the biggest user group is content marketers and SEO teams. Agencies producing blog posts, landing pages, and product descriptions at scale. They draft with AI because it’s fast, then humanize because Google’s algorithm updates have made AI-pattern content a ranking liability. The detector gets used on the other end — editors and clients checking deliverables before they go live.

The academic use case exists too. Universities have rolled out detection tools. Students want to use AI as a starting point without getting flagged. Coda One’s tool page includes a note encouraging users to follow their institution’s policies. Wong frames it as editing, not cheating: “Your ideas stay. Your arguments stay. We just fix how it sounds.”

The humanizer sits inside a broader platform. Coda One offers 59 free tools — PDF merge and compress, image background removal, developer utilities like JSON formatting and JWT decoding. All the non-AI tools run in the browser. Files don’t touch a server. A Chrome extension puts the humanizer and detector into the right-click menu on any website.

Pricing: detection is free, no limits. The humanizer and other AI tools get three free uses a day. Paid plans run $9.99 to $39.99 a month. Everything else — the PDF tools, the image tools, the dev tools — stays free permanently.

ABOUT CODA ONE

Coda One is a London-based AI startup. One free platform replacing scattered tool subscriptions — AI writing, PDF, image, and developer tools. No signup needed. https://www.codaone.ai/.

SEATTLE, Wash., March 25, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor, an AI-powered platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, today announced that Waterstone Mortgage has implemented its AI pre-underwriting platform to strengthen file quality and expand underwriting capacity across the lender’s nationwide retail operation.

Image caption: Friday Harbor partners with Waterstone Mortgage to expand underwriting capacity.

Waterstone Mortgage, a national retail lender with more than 200 loan officers operating in 48 states, deployed Friday Harbor to help surface issues earlier in the loan process and deliver cleaner files to its lean underwriting team. Since implementation, Waterstone has seen stronger pre-approval confidence, faster file resolution and fewer conditions at the underwriting desk.

“Cleaner files mean our underwriting team can focus on high-value risk decisions instead of clearing avoidable conditions,” said Jake Rowoldt, vice president of information services at Waterstone Mortgage. “Friday Harbor is the first AI solution we’ve tried that actually delivers on what it promises. It’s helping us scale production while maintaining the standards that define our business.”

Friday Harbor analyzes loan files during origination to flag missing documents, surface income calculation issues and identify potential underwriting conditions. The tool evaluates files against investor guidelines and lender overlays, providing loan officers with visibility into problems that would otherwise emerge days or weeks later in the process.

“Waterstone approached this implementation with a clear understanding of what they needed: a way to improve file quality without disrupting their workflows or undermining the expertise of their underwriters,” said Theo Ellis, CEO of Friday Harbor. “Their success demonstrates what becomes possible when lenders use AI to support judgment rather than replace it.”

Waterstone piloted Friday Harbor in late 2024 and has since rolled the platform out across its sales and operations teams. Loan officers report that Friday Harbor’s income and asset calculations align closely with their own analysis and underwriting’s final determinations, building confidence in pre-approval scenarios involving complex borrower situations.

The implementation has driven strong engagement, with teams actively incorporating the platform into their daily workflow within weeks of launch. The integration with Waterstone’s Encompass loan origination system from ICE Mortgage Technology allows loan officers to access Friday Harbor’s capabilities without disrupting their established processes.
