Burnout and job insecurity are pushing Veterans to pursue franchising as a way to regain control over their careers. Many Veterans are reflecting on their career paths and finding that franchising offers a proven business model to implement in their local communities. Vetrepreneur provides free coaching to help Veterans select and evaluate franchise opportunities, emphasizing that Veterans are nearly three times more likely to own a business than non-Veterans. Skills gained from military training, such as discipline and leadership, align well with running a franchise, and many franchise companies offer discounts on fees to Veterans and their spouses.

Choosing the right franchise requires a tailored approach, as each franchise has unique needs. With thousands of franchises across various industries, exploring options beyond typical categories like restaurants and gyms is crucial. Conducting thorough research and asking the right questions can significantly impact success. Opening a franchise involves making important business, financial, and legal decisions, so seeking professional advice is essential. Vetrepreneur’s free 10-step coaching program guides Veterans through the process, helping them determine if franchising is the right choice and assisting in finding the best match.
