Tampa based Pillar to Post Home Inspectors® has consistently ranked as a top franchise for veterans thanks to its dedicated support system, proven business model, and veteran-friendly incentives. The company is committed to helping veterans not only transition into civilian careers but thrive as successful business owners.
Pillar To Post offers veterans a significant franchise fee discount to make entry into the business more accessible. One third of the brand's entire franchise system is veteran owned. In addition, the company provides comprehensive training, ongoing support, and exclusive territories to help ensure long- term success.
"We are honored to be recognized as one of the top franchises for veterans," said Charles Furlough, CEO of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors. "Veterans bring a unique set of skills and leadership qualities to the table, and we've found that those with military experience excel in our franchise system. It's important for us to offer the support and incentives they need to build a successful business, and this ranking reflects our dedication to providing them with the best opportunities possible."
Among the newest franchisees is Pensacola resident Dan Jones who recently launched Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® in Pensacola, Florida. Known as the Dan Jones Team, they will be serving the Pensacola area and surrounding communities, including Perdido Key, Milton, Cantonment, Pace, Gulf Breeze, and Pensacola Beach.
Prior to joining Pillar to Post, Jones served as an enlisted active-duty Navy Sailor from 2012 until his medical retirement in April 2023. The transition from military service to civilian life was a significant shift. As Jones reflected, “not in a million year’s would I have thought I’d be where I’m at now.”
Known for his dedication, those familiar with him would have anticipated a 30-year career in the Navy. However, life took an unexpected turn, culminating in his retirement as a Chief Petty Officer after only 11 years. Following his retirement, Jones spent a good many months refiguring out his purpose in life, finally settling on it being quite simple. To provide for his family, and to acknowledge his innate desire for professional accomplishment. It was time to research.
During his research, he was pointed to Pillar To Post Home Inspectors and was impressed by the professionalism and established systems of the brand. After a week of intensive research, it became clear to him that Pillar to Post aligned perfectly with his goals and aspirations for his small business.
Determined to find a new path Jones began to explore his innate strengths and capabilities. His military experience had honed his ability to perform and execute plans of action with unwavering commitment. This realization led him to dive deeply into the world of business, absorbing all the knowledge he could find.
“Pillar To Post’s commitment to excellence and service aligns perfectly with mine and the support and technology available through their network is unmatched,” Jones offered.
