CertaPro Painters ranked fifth on Franchise Business Review’s list of the top 10 most popular franchises for veterans. The industry trade publication surveyed 2,000 military-trained franchisees to find the brands with the highest levels of owner satisfaction.
"We have found that veterans make excellent franchise owners—a number of our most successful franchisees have some sort of military training and background," said Peter Barkman, vice president of franchise development for CertaPro Painters. "We have very strong veteran recruitment efforts. Veteran franchisees are able to follow a proven system and they possess superior leadership skills, in addition to bringing an honest and disciplined work ethic to their business which harmonizes with CertaPro’s goals and overall mission."
CertaPro currently has 24 veteran franchise owners. CertaPro provides all honorably discharged veterans with a 10 percent discount off its franchise fee through VetFran.
