3
Important Criteria To Consider When Evaluating
A Franchise
1.
What is the company's position within
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 relationship with AmeriSpec.
3.
How well 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.
