Amerispec_Inspection_Services Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
National Accounts Program.The AmeriSpec® National Accounts Program (the "National Accounts Program") is a voluntary program in which we offer franchisees the opportunity to offer services to consumers affiliated with national customers who agree to market our inspection services to such consumers ("National Accounts"). If you participate in the National Accounts Program, you will be eligible to receive leads for a designated area (usually a designated zip code). You do not have any right, however, to receive leads for jobs to be performed in these designated zip codes. Rather, we have the absolute right to designate an area and/or distribute leads or not distribute leads according to our judgment. You have the option of declining a lead call from a National Account, but you must refer the call back to us.
At the present time, we are not able to predict how many National Accounts will participate in the National Accounts Program. There is no guarantee that if you are part of the National Accounts Program that you will receive any leads. Lead flow varies widely depending on the location of the Territory. Some Territories will receive no leads.
If you choose to participate in the National Accounts Program, you must adhere to the terms and conditions required by these National Accounts when you provide services to a National Account customer. If you do not participate in the National Accounts Program, it is possible that we or our other franchisees will receive leads in your Territory.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Amerispec Inspection Services Franchise Disclosure Document, the National Accounts Program is a voluntary program that offers franchisees the opportunity to provide services to consumers affiliated with national customers. These national customers agree to market Amerispec Inspection Services' inspection services to their consumers. If a franchisee participates in the program, they may be eligible to receive leads for a specific area, typically a designated zip code. However, Amerispec Inspection Services retains the right to designate areas and distribute leads at its discretion, and there is no guarantee of receiving leads even within a designated zip code.
Franchisees have the option to decline a lead from a National Account, but they must refer the call back to Amerispec Inspection Services. The FDD indicates that the number of National Accounts participating in the program is unpredictable, and lead flow can vary significantly depending on the location of the territory, with some territories potentially receiving no leads at all.
Participation in the National Accounts Program requires franchisees to adhere to the terms and conditions set by the National Accounts when providing services to their customers. If a franchisee chooses not to participate, it is possible that Amerispec Inspection Services or other franchisees may receive leads within their territory. This program is designed to leverage national partnerships to generate business for franchisees, but its effectiveness can vary widely and is not guaranteed.
