THE INSPECTION BOYS (UNIT)

Item 7 of the 2025 FDD lays out a lean initial investment range of $51,100 to $61,750, covering everything from the $40,000 franchise fee to basic setup like training, marketing, and equipment for home and commercial property inspections. That fee gets you the brand, operations manual, site selection help, and initial training in Virginia Beach, VA headquarters—targeting realtors, buyers, and sellers in a recession-resistant field. Ongoing, expect 7% royalties on gross sales, 2% into a regional marketing fund, and a flat $375 monthly technology fee, which keeps total ongoing costs predictable but nibbles at margins without volume.

With only 14 franchise units and 1 corporate location, this is a young system projecting 4 new units soon, signaling cautious optimism rather than explosive growth. No Item 19 disclosure means no average revenues or profits to benchmark, a red flag for risk-averse buyers—it forces reliance on unverified seller claims or your own projections in a market where inspections average $400-600 per job. For entrepreneurs with real estate ties, the low entry point shines if you hustle leads, but the small network limits national brand pull; crunch your local demand before committing.
