Service franchises are a great option for veterans. Since 2011 more than 4300 veterans have started franchise businesses. Veteran franchise owners earn more than 4 times their counterparts who started independent businesses. Here is what one of our clients has to say about the opportunity for veterans in service franchises:
TOP REASONS THAT VETERANS ARE A GOOD FIT FOR FRANCHISING...
- Veterans have strong leadership skills and a thorough understanding of working in teams. Military experience includes leading people, improving processes and accomplishing the mission. Just like in the military the mission in franchising is accomplished by the team.
- Franchises run on systems. Implementing systems and following procedures with precision emphasized in military training leads to success in franchising.
The military has taught you the mental toughness and discipline needed to start a business and stay on a course that has proven to be successful. Throughout your military career you have had to communicate effectively with entry-level enlisted, senior officers, spouses, children, political officials and local business owners. You need that skill set to succeed in started, then growing, a profitable residential and commercial service business. Finally, you and your family can choose where you want to live.”
