ATTENTION U.S. MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS: THIS IS YOUR NEW MISSION
An Opportunity to Make a Difference
VetCor® is a restoration company that solves water and mold damage problems in commercial and residential properties, staffed primarily by veterans of the U.S. military. The business is a Florida state certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and an Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC) certified firm.
VetCor® brings an impressive history in the restoration industry and has helped hundreds of property owners restore their homes or businesses since its founding in 2013. From a credibility and commitment standpoint, VetCor® strives to be the best, and regularly attends training sessions and invests in the necessary equipment to offer its customers the best possible service.
VetCor® is franchising the company’s operations in order to duplicate the business model into new markets and to expand the organization’s market footprint. Through franchise development, VetCor® will have the ability to operate locations in new markets and areas without the cost and management responsibilities that would come with company-owned territories.
