Amerispec_Inspection_Services Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Although we do not have an advertising council, we have a National Franchise Council consisting of members from various regions of the country. The members are nominated and elected by their peers and are consulted regarding new ideas for use of the Ad Fund, as well as departures from any existing programs. We may add or remove members and dissolve this council at any time, and we retain control over all decisions related to the Ad Fund.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amerispec Inspection Services's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the members of the National Franchise Council are nominated and elected by their peers from various regions of the country. This council is consulted regarding new ideas for the use of the Ad Fund, as well as any changes to existing programs.
However, Amerispec Inspection Services retains the right to add or remove members from the council and even dissolve it at any time, maintaining control over all decisions related to the Ad Fund. This council serves as a platform for franchisees to voice their opinions and contribute to the advertising strategies of the franchise.
While the National Franchise Council offers a channel for franchisee input, the ultimate authority over the Ad Fund and its usage rests with Amerispec Inspection Services. Prospective franchisees should recognize that participation in the council does not guarantee influence over advertising decisions, as the franchisor retains full control.
