A unique and exciting business opportunity
Your HIP Search are offering a limited proposition for licensees looking to set-up as a complete HIP provisions business. This unique HIPs training and business support package is only being offered to a limited number of licensees.

Your HIP Search has developed a specialist business model, which will provide successful applicants with the opportunity to set-up their own professional property services company specialising in the provision of HIPs, Energy Performance Certificates and Personal Searches.
With a comprehensive training programme and structured business support systems, HIPs business operators will be able to produce fully HIP Code compliant Home Information Packs, EPCs for rental properties and Personal Searches to a Search Code standard for conveyancing professionals.
A complete business package for a growing industry
As part of the low carbon transition plan announced by the Government in July 2009, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Miliband, said up to 400,000 new 'green-collar' jobs would be created by 2015.
For minimal investment, Your HIP Search licensees will be able to enter this Government and legislation-backed 'green economy', which is anticipated to see massive growth, through a complete HIPs business package that includes training and a qualification and business generation support.
