AHI's Training School - AHI has the only training school preparing its inspectors to offer home inspection and environmental services like radon testing, mold screening and lead inspection right after training. While other home inspections franchises can prepare you for your state's home inspection licensing requirements no other franchise can prepare you for each of your state's environmental licenses as well. Our franchisees are a "one-stop-shop" right from the very beginning.

AHI's Jumpstart Program - Many franchises claim to have pre-training and even some have post-training programs. While most of these programs consist of a handful of checklists and a couple of reading assignments, AHI provides a 15 video and 11 manual distance learning series and easy-to-follow templates detailing every aspect of start-up. Our Jumpstart program is designed to help you accomplish everything possible before you get to training. This has several benefits. Firstly, it puts your training and then your business on the fast track. Our years of franchise experience has taught us that the most significant impact we can make on the long-term success of our franchisees lies in our ability to help you become profitable as quickly as possible. Our Jumpstart program was originally conceived with this in mind. When you're finished with training you're ready to open your doors to the world! Secondly, by accomplishing so much of your start-up before training, you'll be on your way to becoming an industry expert and you'll already have a practical view of what this business is all about. And finally, after having rolled up your sleeves and gained critical insight into the opportunities in your territory, you'll be able to make direct connections between the lessons learned in training and how they might be applied to your business.

AHI's Direct Marketing Telephone Outreach Project - We are the only home inspection franchise that gives you the option to have a corporate marketing expert directly reach out to your referral base on your behalf. Our marketing expert will contact real estate agents in your area and help you establish you initial relationships throughout your territory. You'll also be trained to offer four different continuing educational seminars and four mini-seminars to your real estate community. These seminars, created by AHI Founder and President Francis X. (Rich) Finigan, contain a wealth of educational value for real estate professionals and present a unique opportunity for you to quickly establish yourself as an expert in your field. This hands-on, results-oriented marketing approach, together with our incomparable training, is the one-two punch that propels our franchisees to immediate success!

Financing - Every franchise claims to have financing options. And they do. But at AHI, we do more than simply point you in the direction of your local bank and wish you good luck! Your developer, along with our financing guide, will break down all your financing options simply and clearly. We'll give you advice and direction as you consider which options will best meet the needs of your unique situation. Once you've chosen a financing path, your developer will provide you with step-by-step application instructions. We'll even guide you step-by-step through your business plan so that you'll have everything you need to make your best impression on prospective lenders.

Health Care - As you take the plunge into business ownership, your family's health coverage is always a major concern. We've done extensive research into the best health care options available to small businesses in our industry. Our health care options will always have some of the most competitive and comprehensive terms available.

These are just some of the important ways AHI stands out from the crowd. We're proud not only to be changing the face of the home inspection industry, but to pushing the entire industry of franchising up to another level. We're confident you'll notice the difference.
