THE INSPECTION BOYS®
GETTING IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
can bring big returns. Matthew Rivera learned this when he became the first franchisee for The Inspection Boys®. He liked the business model so much, he purchased the company from the original founder within a year. “I saw a huge opportunity. The Inspection Boys® has enormous potential, with low investment, big margins, and quick ROI. I knew I could make this really successful,” says Rivera. While franchising is fairly new to Rivera, the inspection business is something he knows well. He has worked as an inspector for several years and has been running an inspection school (nyhomeinspectorschool.com). “I know the ins and outs of this business and what you need for success,” he says. Being new has advantages, too. “We can award huge territories with no competition.” The company is on the cutting edge when it comes to marketing. “We keep up with the industry and know how to get leads. We are using the latest in search engine optimization (SEO) and social media to promote the brand. Gone are the days when all the leads came from Realtors. The industry is cutting out the middleman and going towards Web services like Zillow. It’s constantly changing,” he adds. Rivera is looking for owner-operators who want to be involved in the business. “Whether they are working the jobs or managing the daily operations, they need to be hands-on. We are all about service and teamwork.” Franchisees come to New York for a week of training and then Rivera’s team flies to the new territory to get the franchisee up and running. “We give them all the support they need and more,” he says. “Their success is our success.” For more information, visit https://inspectionboys.com 32
