The business you would build
Home inspection ownership combines inspection work with running a local service business. Consider how you want to handle appointments, customer communication, reports, relationship building and business administration. Discuss the technical preparation and operating requirements for the country where you intend to work.
A role that fits your goals
A unit franchise focuses on owning and operating an inspection business. Regional Developer and Master Franchisee paths involve a broader development and support role where offered. Ask about the specific responsibilities, time commitment and experience expected for each option.
Training: from preparation to ongoing learning
ABCHI’s existing materials describe preparation, technical and business training, field experience and mentoring. Ask for the current program for your country and role: how training is delivered, how competence is assessed, what happens in your home market and how continuing support works. Confirm the schedule, inclusions and any licensing steps before making a commitment.
Where to explore ownership
United States: unit and Regional Developer paths, subject to current FDD and state restrictions. Canada: Quebec Master Franchisee rights; units in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Yukon. New Zealand: unit and Regional Developer paths. Other countries: Master Franchisee enquiries. Individual territory availability must be confirmed.
Other Canadian unit markets
Regional master franchisees market and grow those areas through the main ABCHI website.
