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.
