Veteran support program

“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."

Ranked as one of the top 50 “2019 Top Franchises for Veterans” by Entrepreneur magazine, PuroClean launched its esteemed PuroVet program in 2017 to help military personnel to transition into PuroClean business ownership and connect with veterans inside and outside its franchise system directly. While many franchise veteran programs only offer discounts to veterans without extended year-round support, PuroVet operates on the core belief that veterans are ideally suited as PuroClean franchise owners, with the following three top advantages, and provides a specialized support structure to facilitate long-term success:

Key benefits for veterans

1. Servant’s Heart & Leadership - A core part of PuroClean’s culture and philosophy, servant leadership is second nature for veterans. By helping individuals in their local communities during unfortunate times (fires, floods and other instances causing property damage) and managing a team of expert technicians, PuroClean franchise owners practice servant leadership every day while enjoying a profitable business.

2. Pillar of Hope During Emergencies - When property owners and managers are faced with unexpected damage, PuroClean franchise owners serve as a source of stability. Veterans have experience being a pillar of hope for their country, which effortlessly translates to serving customers during a time of need as PuroClean franchise owners.

3. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work - Veterans are accustomed to working in close-knit units and teams that strive towards a collective mission. The PuroClean franchise operates in the same way. Veteran entrepreneurs benefit from having a dedicated support team who are available 24/7 to promote the success of their business, including a regional director personally assigned to their franchise and the online PuroClean Academy with supplemental resources. Many corporate employees are veterans themselves, including White, helping further facilitate a unique sense of camaraderie.
