What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amerispec Inspection Services's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are approved suppliers for office forms. Amerispec Inspection Services designates certain suppliers as approved suppliers that franchisees may be required or recommended to use for various items.
Specifically, Amerispec Inspection Services has approved suppliers for stationery supplies, office forms, signs or decals, promotional items, and insurance brokers. A list of these approved suppliers will be provided to franchisees before they start their business. However, this list is subject to change at Amerispec Inspection Services's discretion.
This means that as a franchisee, you may need to purchase your office forms from a supplier that Amerispec Inspection Services has already vetted and approved.

It is also possible to request approval for a supplier that is not on the approved list, but the supplier will need to meet Amerispec Inspection Services's specifications.
