The Integritis Foundation
Turning Service in Strategy
The Integritis Foundation exists to unlock the commercial potential of ex-service professionals.
Too often, veterans leave the Armed Forces with exceptional leadership, operational and strategic capability — yet enter civilian employment below their skill level.
We exist to change that.
As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, the Foundation is funded through a share of Integritis profits, alongside grants and donations. Our success is not measured in revenue.
It is measured in outcomes.
Through structured training, mentoring and long-term professional support, we help veterans build sustainable, high-value consultancy careers that reflect the true depth of their experience.
The challenge at hand...
Veterans are being underpaid, underused, and undervalued.
We’re helping veterans step into high-value consultancy.
The Integritis Foundation provides structured training, mentorship, and real-world support to help ex-service professionals launch successful, independent consultancy careers.
From business setup to securing contracts, we equip veterans with the tools, guidance, and confidence they need to thrive in civilian life. We aim for lasting success, not just a temporary transition.
The transition from military to civilian life is not a capability gap. It is a translation gap.
The figures below do not reflect a lack of ability.
They reflect structural barriers, limited commercial positioning and under-recognition of military leadership in the corporate environment.
We focus on closing that gap.
52%
According to UK government research, 52% of veterans have taken jobs that require less experience or fewer skills than their previous roles in the armed forces.
8%
Research by the British Legion shows that 8% of working-age veterans are unemployed, nearly twice the rate of their civilian peers.
20%
According to UK government data, 20% of veterans claim unemployment benefits shortly after leaving service, highlighting the economic challenges many face during the transition to civilian life.
From experience to enterprise: The Integritis Foundation Consulting Academy
The Integritis Consulting Academy equips veterans with the commercial mindset, practical tools and professional infrastructure needed to build successful independent consultancy careers. Our structured programme includes:
1. Mindset Shift
Reframing military leadership, strategy and operational expertise into commercially valuable propositions.
2. Business Setup
Guidance on company formation, compliance, insurance, governance, and intellectual property essentials.
3. Skills Branding
Helping consultants package and articulate their expertise clearly for commercial markets.
4. Contract ready

5. Launch Support

Measured Impact. Not Marketing.
We are not a charity offering temporary assistance.
We are building sustainable consultancy careers.
By enabling veterans to operate as high-value independent professionals, we:
- Reduce underemployment
- Increase income potential
- Strengthen economic participation
- Support long-term professional resilience
Every veteran supported represents capability unlocked — not simply assistance provided.
