What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amerispec Inspection Services's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the monthly advertising contribution is determined by two components: 3% of monthly Gross Receipts or a minimum of $160 per month, whichever is greater. Gross Receipts are defined as the total revenues received from all products and services offered by the Franchised Business.
For a prospective Amerispec Inspection Services franchisee, this means that each month, they will calculate 3% of their Gross Receipts. If that amount is greater than $160, they will pay that amount as their advertising contribution. However, if 3% of their Gross Receipts is less than $160, they will still be required to pay the minimum of $160 for that month.
It's important to note that the minimum advertising contribution fee is waived for the first 90 days after opening the Franchised Business. This waiver does not apply to transfers or renewals. This advertising contribution is contributed to the National Advertising Fund, which Amerispec Inspection Services uses for marketing and advertising efforts to promote the brand and generate leads for franchisees.
