Starting a business takes more than choosing the right industry. The right training, reliable systems, and ongoing support can give you a strong foundation as you build your business.
Alaska requires home inspectors to register with the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development. Home inspectors can register to inspect existing homes, new homes, or both, depending on the type of inspections they plan to provide. Applicants must meet the state’s education and experience requirements, pass the required examination, and hold an Alaska business license.

Whether you have previous inspection experience or are new to the field, WIN provides the tools and guidance to help you launch and grow a local home inspection business.
