Vetcor

What Vetcor does

VetCor LLC is a Florida-based, veteran-owned emergency restoration services company operating as a franchise network of approximately nine locations across the U.S. Sun Belt (Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, Pinellas County, the Atlanta metro area via Norcross GA, and Central Texas via Austin). The company provides water damage mitigation using applied structural drying, mold remediation with third-party Post Remediation Verification, fire and smoke damage mitigation, bio/trauma/crime scene cleanup, emergency board-up and roof tarping, tree and debris removal, and deep cleaning/disinfection services. VetCor is an IICRC certified firm and a Florida Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), with a 2-hour response time commitment (excluding major weather events) and 24/7 emergency availability.

The franchise model is the core go-to-market: individual franchise locations are owned and operated by U.S. military veterans and their families, with each location staffed by IICRC certified technicians. Customer acquisition relies on insurance carrier referrals (notably through Contractor Connection, where VetCor earned Top Performer status two consecutive years), third-party administrator referrals, cross-referrals with HVAC contractors, and direct inbound from residential and commercial property owners via phone (1-844-VetCor1) and website. Pricing is quote-based, almost always processed through property insurance claims rather than publicly listed rates.

Revenue mechanics are professional-services fee-for-service, with episodic surges during catastrophe events (Hurricane Ida generated $2M+ across four franchises working with nine insurers and three TPAs). The company earns recurring revenue from regional awards and industry recognition (Grow FL Top 50, Tampa Bay Fast 50, Contractor Connection Top Performer), supports franchisee financing through partners like Guidant Financial and AllCap Funding, and directs prospective franchisees to the Warrior Rising Vetrepreneur program. Leadership is concentrated around founder-CEO Paul Huszar (retired U.S. Army LtCol, 23 years of active service), with operating, franchise development, and field-general manager roles filled by fellow veterans. No external equity, venture, or private equity backing is disclosed.
