Can the list of approved suppliers for Amerispec Inspection Services change?

According to Amerispec Inspection Services's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the list of approved suppliers can change at the franchisor's discretion. Amerispec Inspection Services designates certain suppliers as approved, which franchisees may be required or recommended to use for items such as specialty items, field inspection hardware/accessories, specialty printers, insurance services, inspection tools, office equipment, career apparel, customized newsletters, laboratory services, testing supplies, computer systems and accounting systems. They also have approved suppliers for stationery supplies, office forms, signs or decals, promotional items, and insurance brokers.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that the suppliers they are required or recommended to use for various business needs may change over time. This could impact costs, as pricing and quality may vary between suppliers. It also means franchisees need to stay updated on the current list of approved suppliers to ensure compliance with Amerispec Inspection Services's standards.

If a franchisee wants to use a supplier not on the approved list, they must request approval from Amerispec Inspection Services. The franchisor may ask the supplier to provide samples and will investigate their ability to meet specifications. While Amerispec Inspection Services does not charge a fee for this investigation, approval of alternative suppliers can be revoked if they no longer meet the standards in the Operations Manual. This ensures that all suppliers meet the standards of customer satisfaction that Amerispec Inspection Services requires.
