Territory Exclusivity

Your patch, your rules. We map territories based on real housing stock and inspection demand — not just postcodes on a map. Once it's yours, no other SURE franchisee can operate there. Full stop.

Data-Driven Tools

The DefectIndex is a practical data reference. Real defects are catalogued and searchable, so when you find something unusual in a roof cavity, you can cross-reference it against similar cases we've seen and write more evidence-led reports.

Ongoing Support

You get direct access to head office, monthly check-ins, documented systems, and practical support for inspection operations, reporting, and local marketing.

Common questions

Franchise FAQ

How much does it cost to become a SURE franchisee?

The franchise fee starts from $30,000, plus about $5,000 for gear. There is also a 10% royalty and 5% marketing levy on what you earn. We'll walk you through the full breakdown on the discovery call.

What training do I receive?

Four to six weeks of solid onboarding — not just a PDF and a pat on the back. We cover our inspection methodology, report writing, business systems, and the tech stack. After that, you get quarterly updates, HIA resources, and a direct line to us when something's not clicking.

How large is a franchise territory?

Typical territories cover 80,000–150,000 residents across multiple suburbs. SURE territories are mapped to avoid overlap between franchisees.

How much can I earn as a SURE franchisee?

Depends on your territory and how hard you want to work. Job pricing follows our published rate card. The ones who do well aren't necessarily the best inspectors — they're the ones who show up, do good work, and follow up with agents. We share actual franchisee volume and revenue data on the discovery call — ask us anything.

What ongoing support do I get?

Monthly check-ins, quarterly business reviews, suburb-level SEO pages, booking systems, report templates, and head-office support for operational questions.

Do I need building inspection experience?

It helps, but it is not the only pathway. We've got franchisees from trades, engineering, even property management. What matters is that you're willing to learn our methodology and do the work. If you've got building knowledge and people skills, we can teach you the rest.

How does the marketing work?

We run national campaigns and build suburb-specific landing pages for your territory that rank in Google. You get brand guidelines, marketing materials, and your Google Business Profile set up properly. The SEO pages alone bring in a steady stream of organic leads — no ads required, though you're welcome to run them.

What is the payback period on the initial investment?

It depends on your territory, the local market, and how quickly you build agent relationships. We share actual payback data for our existing territories on the discovery call — we won't give you a number here that doesn't account for your specific patch.

Can I sell my franchise in the future?

Yes. You can sell your territory, subject to SURE approving the new operator under the franchise agreement.

How long does it take to become a SURE franchisee?

From your first enquiry to opening your own SURE franchise is usually about two to four months. It depends on how quickly you complete your due diligence and training and get your setup ready.

Do I need previous experience running a business?

No. Plenty of our franchisees have never run their own business before — we walk you through the systems, pricing, and day-to-day operations during onboarding. What matters is that you're willing to learn and put in the work.

Is the initial deposit refundable?

We ask for a financial commitment up front so we know you're serious about taking on a territory. We'll explain exactly how the deposit and the rest of the investment work on the discovery call.
