What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Amerispec Inspection Services FDD, franchisees can conduct local advertising campaigns and promotional programs at their own expense to promote their franchised business. However, before implementing any local advertising, franchisees must submit all advertising and promotional materials to Amerispec Inspection Services for approval.

This bundle currently costs $3,900 and includes computer equipment, initial license fees for the AmeriSpec Inspection Software (AIS) and the AmeriSpec Management System (AMS), a marketing bundle with stationery supplies and business cards, and admission to the franchisee's first convention.
These requirements ensure that all marketing efforts align with the brand standards and that franchisees have the necessary tools and resources to effectively promote their business locally, while maintaining consistency and quality across the Amerispec Inspection Services franchise system.
