FlexFund Fee Per Inspection
Client-Paid FlexFund Fee
Both approaches impact how the fee is presented to clients and how it is applied to inspection orders.
1. FlexFund Fee Per Inspection
This option allows inspectors to add an upcharge to every inspection, whether or not FlexFund is used.
How it works:
The fee is bundled into the main inspection fee.
Clients will not see a separate “FlexFund” charge.
Example:
Base inspection fee: $400
FlexFund Fee Per Inspection: $20
Total shown to client: $420
The fee is bundled into the main inspection fee $20
Key note:
This fee applies to all inspection orders, even those not using FlexFund.
2. Client-Paid FlexFund Fee
This option creates a direct, visible charge for the client, but only when FlexFund is used.
How it works:
The fee is displayed as a separate line item on the invoice.
Clients will see exactly what they are paying for the FlexFund service.
Example:
Base inspection fee: $400
FlexFund Service Fee: $50
Total shown to client: $450
The invoice clearly shows:
Inspection Fee: $400
FlexFund Service Fee: $50
Key Difference
FlexFund Fee Per Inspection:
The fee is bundled into the main inspection fee.
Always applied to every order.
Client-Paid FlexFund Fee
The fee is displayed as a separate line item on the invoice.
Only applied when FlexFund is used.
Client sees it as a separate line item.
Important Reminder
Regardless of which option is chosen, inspectors are still charged the $50 FlexFund submission fee per transaction. The client-related fee is simply a way to offset or pass along that cost.
