Financing for this trade
Inspection firms mostly borrow small: vehicle loans for inspector trucks, equipment financing for thermal cameras, drones and moisture meters, and a line of credit or SBA 7(a) loan to fund growth or buy out a retiring owner. Lenders look at referral volume from agents and lenders, how much revenue rides on home sales cycles, and license and errors and omissions coverage.

Yes. 541350 is the code for businesses whose main service is inspecting buildings and writing condition or compliance reports. A licensed home inspector, a commercial property condition assessment firm and a contract building code inspector all belong here. If your company mainly does engineering design, use 541330. If you mainly appraise value for lenders, 531320 fits better.
What is the SBA size standard for 541350?
SBA sets the size standard for 541350 at $11.5 million in average annual receipts, averaged over the last five completed fiscal years and counting affiliates. Building inspection firms at or under that figure qualify as small businesses for SBA 7(a) and 504 loans and for federal small business set asides. Most independent building inspection firms fall well inside the limit, so size is rarely what decides an SBA application.
What financing do home inspection companies use?
Most use vehicle loans for inspector trucks, equipment financing for drones, thermal cameras and radon monitors, and a business line of credit to smooth slow housing months. Owners buying an established inspection franchise or a local firm often use an SBA 7(a) loan. Lenders focus on steady referral sources, licensing, and insurance coverage.
