At PuroClean, we believe in the power of partnerships that create meaningful change. This year, we’re proud to celebrate the 34th anniversary of International Franchise Association’s VetFran — short for veterans in franchising — supporting veteran entrepreneurship. Designed to help military veterans transition into franchise ownership and careers in franchising, VetFran aligns perfectly with PuroClean’s PuroVet Program.
For more than three decades, VetFran has opened doors for veterans, providing resources and pathways to business ownership. As a Bronze Sponsor of VetFran, PuroClean is proud to support this mission. Our President and COO, Steve White, a U.S. Army veteran and former Captain, and a past Chair of IFA’s VetFran committee, has been a driving force in championing opportunities for veterans within the franchise industry.
Supporting Veterans Through PuroVet
The PuroVet Program is dedicated to helping transitioning military service veterans move to business ownership. By partnering with VetFran, we provide veterans with the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive as PuroClean Franchise Owners.
It’s no coincidence that 1 in 7 PuroClean Franchise Owners are veterans. While veterans make up just 7% of the U.S. population, they represent 14% of PuroClean’s franchise system, a powerful testament to the leadership, resilience, and mission-driven mindset that veterans bring to business ownership. At PuroClean, we don’t just honor that legacy, we invest in it.
Through this partnership, we’ve been able to:
- Provide franchising opportunities for veterans.
- Offer financial and educational resources to veteran entrepreneurs.
- Strengthen a national network committed to empowering veterans in business.
A Shared Commitment to Service
As VetFran celebrates 34 years, we honor their unwavering dedication to veterans and proudly stand with them in this mission. Together, we will continue to create opportunities, foster entrepreneurship, and support those who served our nation.
Here’s to 34 years of impact and many more years of partnership and progress for the veteran business community.
