Leverage Your Military Background, Certification, and Community to Build a Thriving Business
Veterans know how to lead, respond under pressure, and complete the mission. That’s why they’re uniquely positioned to succeed in the restoration industry. Through the PuroVet Program, PuroClean offers a clear path for veteran post-military success, from military service to restoration franchise ownership, backed by exclusive training, resources, and financial incentives.
But here’s where the opportunity gets even more powerful: veteran business owners are part of a nationwide network of military and veteran organizations looking to work with their own. From VFW halls to military housing units, federal contracts to veteran nonprofits, the veteran community supports its own.
Here’s how to become a successful PuroClean Franchise Owner with PuroVet and tap into the strength of your service, your certification, and your community when you are transitioning military service to civilian life.
Leverage the Values You Learned in Uniform
The restoration industry demands fast thinking, clear leadership, and the ability to stay calm in a crisis. Sound familiar? That’s the battlefield mindset, and veterans bring it naturally. Whether responding to a fire, flood, or biohazard, clients trust your ability to get the job done with precision and care.
Veterans are mission-ready business owners.
Use the PuroVet Program as Your Launchpad
PuroClean’s PuroVet Program is more than a discount; it’s a full-service veteran success platform. You’ll get:
- Reduced franchise fees

You’re not just buying a franchise; you’re joining a veteran-forward business family.
Get NVBDC Certified to Win Veteran Contracts
As a veteran, you qualify for certification through the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC)—the gold standard in veteran business certification. NVBDC is recognized by the Billion Dollar Roundtable, giving you access to supplier diversity contracts from Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and veteran-focused organizations.
But here’s where it gets tactical: many veteran service organizations (VSOs), nonprofits, and agencies prefer to contract with veteran-owned businesses. From deep cleaning military housing units to restoring American Legion halls, there’s real demand, and being NVBDC-certified gets you noticed.
Work Within the Veteran Community
Want to build a reliable pipeline of business? Start by connecting with:
- VFW and American Legion posts
- Local chapters of DAV, AMVETS, and the Marine Corps League
- Military housing facilities and government contracting officers
- Veteran nonprofits and housing support services
- Local VA hospitals and veterans’ service providers
Your credibility as a veteran entrepreneur and NVBDC-certified business owner creates instant trust. And in the restoration industry, trust leads to repeat contracts and strong referrals.
Market Yourself as a Veteran-Owned Business
Your military background is more than a line in your bio—it’s your brand. Customers, especially within the veteran and first responder communities, are proud to do business with one of their own. Use that.
Tell your story on your website. Share testimonials from fellow veterans. Add your NVBDC certification logo to your truck, email signature, and marketing materials.
People respect veterans. Let them know who you are.
