You should be aware that there are specific statutory requirements in many states that apply to home inspector licensing, registration or certification, or otherwise regulate the operation of a home inspection business. Some states require attendance at their training sessions and passing a test before you can be licensed in that state. It is your responsibility to determine whether these requirements may apply to your Franchised Business and to comply with any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

Additional Training and Assistance. We may, but are not required, to provide or make available to franchisees training on the performance of other residential and commercial building inspections.

All franchisees wishing to perform commercial inspections must meet our standards as specified in the Operations Manual, obtain our approval, and become certified in commercial property inspections from a program that we approve.
