‘Thank you for your service’ has become the honorific catch-phrase for both military veterans and first-responders throughout the United States today. And rightly so, according to Stephanie Rosenstone, Chief of Staff for Paul Davis Restoration. “As our military men and women veterans finish their service and seek second careers with Paul Davis Restoration, we find they exhibit many of the same abilities as our successful Paul Davis Restoration business owners. As a rule, they’re intelligent, resourceful, and passionate about everything they do. They’re also dedicated, hardworking, and committed to team success.”
A few facts speak volumes. Veterans make up roughly 6% of the nation’s working-age adult population. Military veterans own over 1.6 million small businesses in the United States. These veteran-led firms represent about 5% of all small businesses nationwide, employ nearly 3.2 million workers, and generate approximately $1 trillion in annual revenue. The payrolls of veteran-owned businesses total over $210 billion every year.
Rosenstone has witnessed first-hand how military veterans carry their service experience forward when they become franchise business owners. “Our Paul Davis franchise business owners throughout North America practice leadership, teamwork, and service to their communities as they provide needed disaster cleanup and restoration services. Our veteran-experienced franchise owners quickly embody our mission, vision, and values, while bringing along their dedication to purpose, pride and commitment, once directed to their nation, and now to customers and the communities-at-large where they live and work. They clearly understand what it means to follow a process, work as a team, and execute a mission safely; three important keys to running a successful Paul Davis Restoration business.”
