The franchise structure and support model has allowed me to achieve business and personal success that would not have been possible had I tried to “go it alone”. There is an incredible team dynamic within this franchise where new business owners receive mentoring, in addition to technical and business advice, not just from the franchise ownership, but through the vast network of inspectors. The franchise gives you every opportunity to succeed, rewarding success and assisting with new strategies when rough patches are inevitably encountered. Starting any new business takes a lot of hard work – having A Buyer’s Choice in my corner has made the transition from corporate life a smooth one. Best move I could have made – no regrets! ”

Frequently Asked Questions
In some states, yes. Inspector licensing is regional. ABCHI facilitates this process so you meet all licensing requirements. Even with a lack of mandatory licensing across North America we operate as if there is licensing. Each of our Inspectors receives extensive technical, field, business & operations training – no different then if someone wishes to become a trades person. They apprentice first & then become a Journeymen/woman. All ABCHI Inspectors are trained and certified at level that exceeds the highest national level. In fact, ABCHI Inspectors are training at a level so high they could do an Inspection anywhere in North America that has mandatory licensing in place.
As with any business, there are start up costs. ABCHI franchises are designed as a turnkey business. Included in the franchise fee is full technical, field, business & operations training, digital and traditional marketing, print marketing, clothing, software, specialized tools, as well as the support of over 200 ABCHI Franchisees. This is not an exhaustive list. During the franchisee interview process we provide full details as part of our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
