Do you need a home inspection business plan? As anyone who has ever bought a home knows, the home inspection is a vital part of the buying process. Knowing what a trained professional sees wrong with a property is enormously helpful as you make key decisions about buying price or try to leverage information about necessary repairs into a concession from the sellers. As the housing market recovers nationally, the market opportunity for home inspectors is rising as well. While the industry is recession-resistant by its very nature, and home inspections will always occur, there are defined ebbs and flows in the requirement for a formal business plan. If you're trying to get capital to expand your home inspection business, or to launch as a home inspector, there are several factors to consider in developing your home inspection business plan:
(1) What will your market territory be? What are new and existing home sales like in the region, and what are they forecast to be for the coming 6 months, year, and three years?
(2) What will your specific expertise be beyond general inspections? Can you off a unique perspective on mold remediation, water/erosion issues, masonry, etc.?
(3) What marketing campaigns will you use? Do you have an existing base of referral sources?
(4) What will the revenue picture look like if your sales are 15% off projection? Can you furnish a sensitivity analysis for the bank?
