As we reflect on 2024, the PuroClean PuroVet Program celebrates a year of growth, partnerships, and unwavering dedication to empowering veterans to become successful business owners. Since its launch in 2019, the PuroVet program has been a beacon of support for veterans seeking to transition from military service to entrepreneurship. Recently, the program has been reinvigorated under the visionary leadership of Frank Torre, Vice Chairman of PuroClean.
Frank’s deep commitment to veterans, inspired by his father—a proud Marine who served with Carlson’s Raiders during World War II—has transformed the PuroVet program into a powerful pathway for veterans to achieve business ownership. Built on the principles of discipline, leadership, and service, the PuroVet program is designed to help veterans build thriving, purpose-driven businesses in the booming disaster restoration industry.
PuroVet: Exclusive Benefits for Veterans
The PuroVet program is uniquely tailored to support veterans in their journey to business ownership. Key benefits include:
- Discounted Franchise Fee: Veterans receive a significant discount on the initial franchise fee, reducing the financial barriers to starting their own business.
- Specialized Training: Designed to leverage veterans’ leadership and operational skills, the training equips franchise owners to excel in business management.
- Access to Financing: The program provides guidance in securing SBA-backed loans and other financing options, making the transition to entrepreneurship smoother and more accessible.
Frank Torre emphasized, “Veterans have already proven their ability to lead and inspire. Through the PuroVet program, we provide them with the tools, training, and support to succeed in business ownership.”
Thriving in a $210 Billion Industry
The property damage restoration industry is valued at an astounding $210 billion and continues to grow due to increasing demand from climate change and weather-related disasters. The industry’s consistent, recession-resistant revenue opportunities provide long-term financial stability for franchise owners and their families.
“Disaster restoration is an industry where veterans can truly thrive,” said Frank Torre. “It’s a field that values resilience and mission-focused leadership, qualities veterans bring in abundance.”
A Proven Business Model with Unparalleled Support
PuroClean’s turnkey business model empowers veteran franchise owners to hit the ground running with comprehensive support in training, marketing, and operations. Veterans’ natural discipline and team-building expertise align seamlessly with the PuroClean system, setting them up for long-term success.
A Mission-Driven Career with Community Impact
Owning a PuroClean franchise is more than a business—it’s a mission. Franchise owners play a vital role in their communities, offering essential restoration services such as water, fire, mold, and biohazard remediation. For veterans who are mission-driven, PuroVet provides an opportunity to continue serving by helping their communities recover and heal.
Creating a Legacy for Future Generations
One of the most rewarding aspects of the PuroVet program is the opportunity to build a legacy. Many veteran franchise owners involve their families in the business, teaching their children the trade and creating an asset to pass down through generations. The combination of financial stability and purpose-driven work ensures a brighter future for veterans and their loved ones.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As 2024 comes to a close, PuroVet is already planning for the future. With Frank Torre’s leadership and the continued support of partnerships like NVBDC, PuroVet aims to empower even more veterans to achieve their dreams of business ownership.
“We’re building more than businesses; we’re building futures,” said Frank Torre. “Every veteran who joins PuroVet is creating a legacy of service, resilience, and success.”
Steve White, President of PuroClean and a U.S. Army veteran, shared his perspective: “Veterans embody the values of resilience, leadership, and dedication. The PuroVet Program is not just about offering business opportunities; it’s about helping veterans continue their service in a new, empowering way. We’re proud to support them every step of the way.”
In 2024, PuroClean also took significant steps to strengthen its commitment to veterans. The company proudly became a member of the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC), solidifying its dedication to veteran business ownership and veteran entrepreneurs. This partnership aligns with PuroClean’s mission to continue supporting veterans and providing them with unique opportunities in the business world.
PuroClean’s support for veterans has also garnered significant recognition, with the company being featured on US Veterans Radio and in US Veterans Magazine. These platforms have provided valuable exposure for the PuroVet program and have amplified PuroClean’s role in advocating for veteran entrepreneurs across the country.
To all our partners, supporters, and the veterans who trust us to guide their entrepreneurial journey, thank you for making 2024 a year of impact, growth, and purpose. Together, we’re creating a stronger community and a brighter future for veteran entrepreneurs.
