The people behind A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections in Halifax want to expand their franchised organization throughout Atlantic Canada.
“We currently have four franchised operations in the region and want to add 21 more,” Rick Mayuk, a partner in the business with Trevor Johnston, said Friday.
Mayuk said he and his business partner recently acquired the Atlantic regional rights for A Buyer’s Choice and are intent on establishing a regional network.
The organization has about 120 franchised operators across Canada.
“We’re bringing the brand recognition and operational standards of a national franchised organization to the home inspection business,” Mayuk said.
“A franchise is an effective way to go for people interested in the home inspection industry.”
Franchisees buying into the organization have to meet above-industry standards, including a boot-camp training session, field training and a period of mentorship with another franchisee.
“The home inspection industry has varying levels of regulation across Canada. Our standards are above those in effect in Alberta, where home inspections industry regulations are among the most stringent in the country,” Mayuk said.
He and Johnston are both transplanted Albertans who relocated to Nova Scotia several years ago.
They do not actually get out to homes to do inspections but handle the business development side of things, he said.
The pair have signed a business development agreement that allows them to market the franchise to small-business-oriented people in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, Mayuk said.
The company is now expanding into the United States, Chile, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and New Zealand.
Mayuk said Bill Redfern, CEO of A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections, launched the business in Halifax several years ago and is now leading the expansion of the operation into the United States and Europe.
