A recent survey by VetFran, a strategic initiative of the International Franchise Association (IFA), shows 97% of franchisors believe veterans make outstanding franchise partners. Within the last year, 70% of franchisors have welcomed a veteran franchise partner or corporate employee.
As one of the Entrepreneur top franchises for veterans, PuroClean understands why veterans are ideal candidates for our leading national restoration and remediation franchise.
“As a veteran myself, I am proud to be part of a company that proactively seeks ways to support those who have honorably served our country,” said PuroClean COO and President Steve White, a veteran U.S. Army Captain and member of IFA’s VetFran committee. “Veterans already have the skills and tools to earn great success as PuroClean Franchise Owners, and our PuroVet committee works tirelessly to continue making PuroClean the best choice for veterans as they begin their second career.”
PuroVet Program Gives Veterans Opportunities to Serve Their Communities
PuroClean ranks #9 in the 2022 Top Franchises for Veterans by Entrepreneur magazine. We launched our esteemed PuroVet program in 2017. The goal was to help military personnel transition into entrepreneurship and connect with veterans inside and outside our franchise system.
Our PuroVet Program operates on the core belief that veterans are ideally suited for PuroClean franchise ownership. Why? The best franchises for veterans emphasize and value the following characteristics.
- Servant’s Heart & Leadership – Servant leadership is a core part of PuroClean’s culture and philosophy. This trait comes second nature to veterans. PuroClean Franchise Owners practice servant leadership daily while enjoying a profitable business. They manage a team of expert technicians and help people in their community recover from fires, floods and other property damage issues.
- Pillar of Hope During Emergencies – When property owners and managers face unexpected damage, PuroClean Franchise Owners provide stability. Veterans represent a pillar of hope for their country. They effortlessly channel that responsibility into serving customers during their time of need as PuroClean franchise partners.
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work – Veterans are used to working in close-knit units that strive toward a collective mission. PuroClean operates our veteran-friendly franchises in the same way. Like White, many of our corporate employees are veterans who facilitate a unique camaraderie within our company. In addition, PuroVets can lean on a dedicated support team 24/7, a regional director assigned to their franchise and the online PuroClean Academy to drive the growth of their businesses.
PuroVets Receive Extensive Training and Valuable Discounts
Many franchises offer veteran franchise discounts without extended year-round support. PuroClean became one of the Entrepreneur top franchises for veterans because we provide a specialized support structure to facilitate long-term success. PuroVets receive high-quality training at the company’s $1.5 million state-of-the-art training facility. They also benefit from some of the largest territories in the industry and a strong community network of Franchise Owners.
PuroVets receive a 25% discount on our initial franchise fee, which saves them $12,500. Veterans who work with MatchU Franchising can save even more money. The company reduces its commission by 25% for all veterans matched with PuroClean and other vendors offering discounts for products and services. PuroVet Franchise Giveaways also provide top franchise opportunities for military veterans. We award one lucky veteran a franchise with a waiver of our $50,000 initial franchise fee.
