There are more than 3,000 franchise companies in America covering hundreds of business categories. They are seeking military veterans as franchisees. Most will discount their initial franchise fee to acquire a veteran.

Why? Yes, it’s patriotic, but equally important, they want veterans because you possess many of the attributes and skill sets associated with success in franchising. You are:

• Systems-Oriented: A military SOP identifies strategies and procedures to accomplish a mission. A franchise operations manual provides procedures to make money!
• Disciplined, Mission-Dedicated, and Committed: It’s in your DNA!
• Trainable: How many training classes have you attended or taught?
• ATD: Veterans are focused on Attention to Details!
• A problem-solver.

Financial institutions will support veterans because of these skill sets/attributes, and it is patriotic. Many franchise companies have affiliations with financial companies. We can also identify financial institutions across America that support veterans.

You may have a hobby or a specific interest you would enjoy developing versus a traditional job. One of the best attributes of owning a franchise is that you can sell it! When you leave a job, you may get lunch with the staff or a cake. When you want to leave a franchise, you can transfer your business to another party or essentially sell it. You set the price and reap the benefits of your work. It can be a nice supplement to your military retirement.

The Veterans’ Transition Forum management team is comprised of military veterans with business experience in franchising, sales, employment, business start-ups, operations, and marketing. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The services we provide are FREE to all veterans and transitioning service members. We guide veterans throughout the franchise acquisition process including financing. We are match makers. We match veteran entrepreneurs with franchise opportunities based on their skill sets, goals, hobbies, business interests, where they intend to live and their financial situation.

We are ready to assist you and answer your questions. You can also participate in an online seminar. Call 888-729-5557 or click here.

Thank you for your service to America!
