Optional Membership of the Licensed Inventory Scheme (LIS)

Once you have passed the Inventory-Portal Ltd Inventory Provider training and exam you will be able to join the optional, Licensed Inventory Scheme (LIS) and use the “Accredited Member” logo on your sales materials and reports.

Members of LIS are regularly audited as part of our Quality Assurance Regime and are supported with technical and business development advice, mentoring and Licensed Inventory Scheme (LIS) branded Marketing materials.

To join LIS you must have attended and passed training and examination with inventory-portal Ltd and supply an in-date CRB check (Disclosure Scotland) and to hold a current Professional Indemnity and General Liability Insurance Policy.

Will IPL supply any work to LIS Members?

Inventory-Portal Ltd aims to offer LIS Members the opportunity to carry out work for a panel-managed or sub-contracted panel of inventory clerks, subject to the availability of these instructions and the adequate national coverage of our members.

In the meantime our members are encouraged and assisted to develop their local market by canvassing letting agents, showing the sample SMART-inventory Report and promoting the benefits of using a Licensed Inventory Scheme Member as a trained, Security-Checked and Quality Assured Professional, able to supply a standardised, photo-embedded report electronically, to a consistently high standard.

Inventory-Portal Ltd will actively promote the unique benefits of our LIS Members and the SMART-inventory Report centrally to national and regional letting agents and to the wider market via promotional events and our website.

Once a reliable, national or regional network of LIS Members has been established Inventory-Portal Ltd will attempt to secure Clients to outsource their inventory supply chain. This work will be passed out to LIS Members who have chosen to join our panel and agree our contract terms. (We would take a modest percentage of the gross fee per report as our commission on all such instructions).

You are expected to source your own work, at your own price, from your own clients. LIS Members’ support services will provide LIS Members you with marketing advice and promotional Inventory-Portal branded materials to help you win this business from your local letting agents and landlords in your area.
