When your military career comes to a close, the next mission begins—rebuilding your civilian life with purpose, stability, and independence. For service-disabled veterans, that journey can come with unique challenges—but also powerful opportunities. That’s where the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) and PuroVet step in.
What is TAP?
The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) is a Department of Defense initiative designed to help active-duty service members successfully transition into civilian life. It offers career guidance, resume workshops, financial planning, and—perhaps most importantly—resources on entrepreneurship and franchise ownership.
Through TAP, transitioning military veterans can explore business opportunities and receive expert advice and coaching on how to start or buy a business, often with support from veteran franchise programs and Small Business Administration (SBA) financing options.
Why Franchising is a Smart Move for Veterans
Many veterans—especially those with service-connected disabilities—find success in franchising because it offers a clear system, strong support, and room to lead. In fact, veterans are 45% more likely to start a business than non-veterans.
Franchising lets you be in business for yourself—but not by yourself.
And for the veteran entrepreneur seeking a path that aligns with their mission-oriented mindset, franchising with a purpose-driven brand like PuroClean through the PuroVet Program is a perfect fit.
