Return Assistance

[Allan G. Berdahl, CMI]

As most of you may know, I was away from the inspection business for a while but am now looking at returning. I have kept up with the events within NACHI but, have not participated due to my non inspection staus.
Heres where I need your help.
Presently I,m in a position to enter into a francise at a cost and of course royalty fees. Still researching this idea.
If I decide not to go into this venture, what would be the best way to start up my own business without a large name behind me(not including NACHI).

Thing I'm looking for are:

Business set up
Marketing
Software (preferably on site reports)
Insurance

I have been looking into infra red dection but still unsure of that.

Basically, I'm looking at a business structure and possible associated costs.

Also , I would like to thank NACHI (Nick), George and Vern for their support to me over the past 8 months.
Sincerely,
Allan
