Amerispec Home Inspection Franchise Information:
3 Important Criteria To Consider When Evaluating
A Franchise
1. The company's position in the industry -
 No
other franchise has performed more inspections than AmeriSpec. AmeriSpec
business owners have performed approximately 1.5 million home inspections
since 1988. This experience in the home inspection industry is a direct
result of our time tested and proven business operating system coupled
with continuous innovation. AmeriSpec is Number One in North America.
2. What is the current satisfaction level of the
franchisees?
AmeriSpec has realized a 99.6% franchisee renewal rate
average over the last four years. These satisfied franchisees follow the
operating system, renew their franchise agreement after the original term
and many also re-affirm their original decision by making an additional
territory purchase. 20% of the business owners in the U.S. have purchased
a second franchise and 6% own 3 or more. Satisfied business owners recognize
a long term, mutually beneficial partnership with AmeriSpec.
3. Can the level of support be substantiated?
 Support
must first be quantified with personnel, then by the number and quality
of programs available. AmeriSpec currently has 45 employees, 25 of whom
are in seven key departments within the franchise support function for
US owners. This equates to an average support ratio of one person for
every 9 US franchisees.
Within this
support framework, each business owner is assigned a dedicated Business
Consultant. This affords each franchisee a single point of contact who
is trained to provide support in the business management, technology and
marketing aspects of the business. Support is further extended through
a private intranet site that permits 24 hour communication to occur owner
to owner and from owners to the corporate staff.
