Franchising for Veterans: An Overview

Franchising enables entrepreneurs to launch a business with a recognized brand that has a track record of success. You get the training, technology, and support you need to run a business in your community. In addition to ongoing support, you’ll also be part of a team of fellow franchisees who are invested in your success.

Franchising is an ideal option for veterans who are exiting the military. After spending your career deployed or moving from base to base, launching a business can help you grow roots in your community and set your own schedule. Here are some of the skills you acquired in the service that make you a strong franchise candidate:

  • Leadership: In the military, you managed projects and worked with a team to achieve your goals, similar to business ownership.
  • Communication: Clear communication is vital in the military. Your communication skills will enable you to convey your brand message to customers and outline expectations with your team.
  • Problem-solving: Veterans are trained to stay calm under pressure and make decisions on the fly. Business owners encounter unexpected challenges regularly. A skilled problem-solver can assess situations quickly with minimal disruptions.
  • Motivated: Veterans are driven and willing to push the envelope to succeed. Being motivated and purposeful ensures business owners stay committed to achieving long-term success.
