Showcasing its commitment toward providing job opportunities to military veterans, HomeTeam Inspection Service was recently featured in the G.I. Jobs 2011 Military Friendly Franchises® list.
Created three years ago, the list honors the top 7 percent of franchises doing the most to recruit American veterans as franchisees and comes on the heels of U.S. Census Bureau figures showing there are more than 2.4 million veteran-owned businesses across the country.
HomeTeam Inspection Service, a 175-plus unit home inspection franchise, was among six brands in the real estate category and was one of two home inspection brands to top the list.
“We feel this honor is a testament to our continued support of veterans becoming franchisees,” said Greg Haskett, vice president of shared services for HomeTeam Inspection Service. “Veterans are a driven group of people who are a good fit for the long-term success of a franchise.”
Criteria for the list include a brand’s ability to fit the veteran’s need to know what type of franchise to pursue, which gives the best financial incentives and training, and which franchises have the highest number of veterans in the franchise system. Each of the brands highlighted on the Military Friendly Franchises® list have the common bond of putting priority on the recruitment of owner-operators with military experience. Through the International Franchise Association’s VetFran program, HomeTeam Inspection Service offers a 25 percent reduction of the initial franchise fee for military veterans.
“The incentives we offer are just one way we can give back to the men and women who have fought for our country,” Haskett said. “These people are making unbelievable sacrifices every day, and this is our way of saying thanks.”
Ingrained with a strong sense of discipline, determination and motivation, the men and women who make up the U.S. Armed Forces have all the skills required to successfully operate a HomeTeam Inspection Service unit. With a low initial start-up cost that lends itself to a greater opportunity to secure lending, HomeTeam Inspection Service has experienced continued brand growth.
“We always want the right fit, but the right fit is expanded for our brand because you don’t need hundreds of thousands of dollars to get started,” Haskett said. “We believe military veterans see the low investment risk, the ability to work out of their home and the system that can be followed as reasons why they can benefit from joining the HomeTeam Inspection Service family.”
