LICENSING PARTNERS
License the Platform, Playbook, and Brand Framework to Build Your Own Appraisal Practice
You are a credentialed appraiser who wants to run a real practice — not just file reports. Licensing the AppraisalIQ platform, the operating playbook, and the Collision Claims Advisors brand framework gives you everything you need to scale without building it all from scratch.
Licensing is invitation-based. We partner with credentialed appraisers in protected geographic territories who are serious about operating a professional practice — not just working claims out of a home office.
WHAT THE LICENSE INCLUDES
The Full Operating Stack
AppraisalIQ Platform (Full License)
Full-feature access to the AppraisalIQ workflow — intake, comparable research, methodology templates, report generation, and client delivery. Branded to your practice or co-branded with CCA depending on your license tier.
Operating Playbook
Detailed documentation covering client intake, engagement letters, pricing frameworks, case management, testimony preparation, customer communication, deliverable standards, and quality control. The stuff you would otherwise spend three years figuring out by trial and error.
Brand Framework & Marketing Assets
Established brand identity, marketing templates, website framework, landing pages, email templates, and a proven positioning playbook. Enter the market with a professional presence from day one.
Protected Territory
Licenses include geographic exclusivity within defined territories — typically at the metro or state level. You do not compete with other licensees in your market.
Ongoing Support & Community
Regular methodology updates, platform improvements, continuing education, peer collaboration, and direct access to the CCA leadership team. You are not buying a binder — you are joining a network.
WHO QUALIFIES
Is Licensing the Right Fit?
Licensing is a meaningful commitment on both sides. It is not for everyone. Here is who it is for.
- You are IACP-certified (or on a credible path to certification). We will not license the brand to anyone without the credentials to represent it.
- You are operating, or ready to operate, a professional practice. Full-time commitment, professional infrastructure, and a plan to scale beyond solo work.
- You have capital to deploy. Licensing involves upfront investment. The ROI profile is strong, but this is not a no-money-down opportunity.
- You are willing to operate inside a defined methodology. Our reports and workflows follow established standards — if you want to freelance methodology case-by-case, licensing is not the right fit.
- Your territory is currently available. We protect geographic exclusivity, so some markets may already be licensed. We will tell you immediately if yours is one of them.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions

Licensing involves an upfront fee and ongoing platform/royalty components. The structure varies based on territory size, tier, and engagement model. We discuss pricing transparently on an introductory call after confirming basic qualification criteria.
We will share real numbers during the licensing discussion, but the honest answer is: ROI depends on your effort, your market, and your operational discipline. We give you the tools, the brand, the playbook, and the territory. You bring the work ethic.
In most cases, yes. Many licensees begin as independent appraisers and license the platform to professionalize and scale their existing book of business. We will discuss how your current work fits into the licensed framework during the qualification call.
Schedule a licensing inquiry call. We will cover qualification criteria, territory availability, and fit on both sides before discussing any financial specifics. There is no formal application process until both sides agree it makes sense to proceed.
