Criterium Engineers

This engineering franchise offers professional consulting services spanning residential home inspections, commercial property assessments, and structural evaluations for a wide range of clients — from first-time homebuyers to Fortune 500 companies. Franchisees operate as independent engineering small business owners under a nationally recognized brand, benefiting from established reputation, training, and ongoing support. The business model is well-suited for licensed professional engineers seeking to build equity through ownership, though a PE license is not required in most states.

Franchise owners benefit from a proven system with high renewal rates — on average, owners renew their franchise twice during their ownership tenure. The brand provides a competitive edge through its national presence and dual appeal to both consumer and corporate markets, enabling franchisees to serve diverse client needs across inspection, consulting, and engineering advisory services.
