As a veteran, your service to our country laid the foundation for your discipline, leadership, and commitment—qualities that make you uniquely positioned to thrive as a business owner. At PuroClean, we recognize that potential. That’s why we created the PuroVet Program: a veteran-focused pathway to franchise ownership supported by exclusive resources, training and NVBDC certification, and financial incentives.
But there’s another powerful advantage available to our veteran Franchise Owners: certification through the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC). As the only veteran certification recognized by members of the Billion Dollar Roundtable, NVBDC connects veteran business owners directly to supplier diversity programs at major corporations and government agencies.
Here’s how to maximize your NVBDC certification as a PuroClean Franchise Owner through the PuroVet Program:
Promote Your Certified Status
Once you become NVBDC certified, don’t keep it to yourself. Add the NVBDC logo to your website, email signature, marketing materials, and social media. Mention your certification in every bid or proposal, especially to corporations and government entities that prioritize supplier diversity.
Pro-Tip: Corporations often search for certified vendors in the NVBDC database. Keep your profile updated and optimized with keywords that match your service offerings.
Target Supplier Diversity Contracts
Many Fortune 500 companies have supplier diversity goals and are actively seeking veteran-owned businesses. Your NVBDC certification opens doors to RFPs and procurement portals that were previously out of reach.
PuroClean’s reputation in disaster restoration business, combined with your veteran-owned status, makes you a compelling vendor in emergency response, facilities management, and environmental services.
Action Step: Use your certification to register on supplier diversity portals like those of Amazon, General Motors, Walmart, DTE Energy, and more.
Utilize NVBDC’s Corporate Connections
The NVBDC maintains strong partnerships with more than 150 corporations looking to do business with veteran-owned companies. Through webinars, matchmaking events, and industry conferences, NVBDC provides direct access to procurement officers and decision-makers.
As a PuroClean Franchise Owner and a proud part of the PuroVet Program, you gain more than ownership. You receive expert strategic guidance to help you navigate opportunities, build connections, and grow your business with confidence. You’re never doing it alone.
Bonus: Attend NVBDC’s National Conference, where supplier diversity leaders and corporations actively seek to meet veteran-owned businesses like yours.
Tap into Veteran Grants and Local Contracts
Many municipalities and nonprofit organizations prioritize contracts with certified SD/VOBs. Your NVBDC certification can help you secure contracts at the city, county, or state level, especially for emergency restoration services.
Next Steps:
- Introduce yourself to local government contracting officers.
- Monitor grant and RFP databases that filter for certified vendors.
- Include your NVBDC certificate with every application or proposal.
Join NVBDC’s MVO Task Force and Get Involved
Through the Military and Veteran Organization (MVO) Task Force, NVBDC brings together leaders, advocates, and fellow veterans committed to growing economic opportunities. Getting involved gives you more visibility, more resources, and stronger peer support.
