Business Description
Break free from the volatility of the residential housing market. Unlike standard home inspection firms, this established Central Illinois business commands a powerful, recession-resistant "moat" through specialized Commercial and HUD/REAC inspections.

Rare Commercial Authority: Proven expertise in commercial draw inspections and property condition assessments (PCAs) separates you from 90% of the market.
Government-Backed Demand: Specialized in HUD/REAC NSPIRE inspections, ensuring a steady stream of federally mandated work that standard inspectors cannot touch.
Ultra-Lean Operations: Home-based model with exceptionally low overhead means nearly every dollar of revenue flows to the bottom line.
Turnkey Transition: Seller is a certified expert willing to train the incoming owner on the specific nuances of commercial and HUD reporting standards.

- Growth can come in many forms. The business was built via word of mouth. Actively marketing it to commercial real estate investors, commercial real estate brokers, starting a Facebook page, attending Realtor events, and other simple actions, could easily increase the more lucrative commercial inspections and increase the number of HUD inspections. Adding another inspector or adding ancillary inspections such as radon, mold, and termite, would also add revenue.
