Risk & Compliance Flags

Based on Anchor's review of your vendor inventory, verification findings, and coverage gaps, the following specific risk areas require immediate attention. Each flag is backed by what was found, not assumptions.

FLAG 01

Vendors Operating Without Written Contracts

Three of your active vendors, Bluemont Comfort Mechanical, Crestfield Exterior Solutions, and Stonewick Property Services, have no written service agreement. These relationships are operating on informal arrangements with no enforceable terms.

Potential Impact: Without a written contract there is no enforceable scope, no pricing protection, no SLA, and no documented liability allocation if something goes wrong on your property.

Recommendation: Execute written MSAs with all three vendors within 30 days. As part of the Vendor Foundation Sprint, Anchor will draft and coordinate all agreements at no additional cost.

FLAG 02

Stonewick Property Services License Could Not Be Verified

Anchor searched the NC Licensing Board and could not locate an active license for Stonewick Property Services under the business or owner name provided. This vendor is currently performing work at two of your three properties.

Potential Impact: An unlicensed contractor performing commercial work creates significant owner liability. If damage or injury occurs, insurance may deny coverage and liability defaults entirely to you.

Recommendation: Request proof of licensure immediately. If they cannot provide it, suspend their engagement. Anchor has three licensed alternatives already identified in Section 3.

FLAG 03

Fernhollow Grounds Care COI Expired, Work Continuing

The Certificate of Insurance on file for Fernhollow Grounds Care expired in March 2026. This vendor has completed multiple service visits since expiration with no updated coverage documented on file.

Potential Impact: If this vendor caused property damage or injury during any uninsured visit, coverage from their policy cannot be guaranteed and you may carry the full financial exposure.

Recommendation: Request an updated COI naming you as additionally insured immediately. Anchor will coordinate collection and store the verified certificate in your portal during Week 1.
