Before new homeowners can take control of their new residence, most require a home inspection. This is an essential part of the real estate buying process. As such, it’s an industry that can thrive in nearly any market. In fact, more than 90 percent of home sales include a home inspection. So for those who are skilled in home improvement projects and home-related issues, this may be a profitable business opportunity. Though some choose to start their own home inspection businesses from scratch, a franchise can help you get started quicker. Franchise opportunities give aspiring business owners access to proven systems and recognizable brand names.
