Hello everyone,
Question. I have done extensive research on termite inspections and would seriously like to add this to my services. In addition, I have a B.A. Biology degree from a university. I feel very confident about my knowledge of termite inspections in general. In my state, NY, no license or certification is necessary to perform termite inspections only. I already have the insurance in place for liability.
However, are there any issues with government loans and their requirements for my education (certain forms to be completed by a certified termite inspector only)? Also, where can I locate online a form that I may use? I know the liability is high, but this is a big part of the industry I don't want to miss out on. Up until now I have been sub-contracting termite inspections to other termite companies amounting to a lot of capital they received. Do I really need to go ahead and get fully licensed just for the sake of completing it ? Is it worth it? Please let me know what you all think.
Thanks very much,
Dana Salvatore Basile
