“When looking into different home inspection franchises, WIN was the most veteran-friendly franchise I’ve come across.”

Your Passion, Our Business Model
We are proud to be a top-rated veteran-friendly franchise, with more than 36% of our franchise owners being veterans and first responders, the largest percentage in the industry! We believe that the values and skills instilled during military service seamlessly align with our proven business model, and our veteran-owned franchises quickly find success and personal satisfaction owning a WIN Home Inspection business.
36% of our Strategic Partners are First Responders and Veterans, representing virtually every branch of the military.
Experience a Culture of Brotherhood
The most common theme we hear from our veteran franchise owners is that they missed the culture of camaraderie once they leave the military. Brotherhood served an important purpose while serving, and with WIN, they found the feeling of community that they have been longing for. Our franchise owners love how they become part of an extensive network of Strategic Partners who care about one another, celebrating our successes as a team and learning from our failures as a team.
What attracted me to WIN Home Inspection was the opportunity to start something that was going to be my own while I was still able to be a part of a larger community. They are always just a phone call away.
