While on active duty, service men and women know how to follow a plan until the mission is accomplished. When they leave the military and become veterans, these extremely well-trained and highly-skilled individuals are looking for a way to apply those skills in a way that gives them purpose, economic opportunity, and a new mission.

Each day, more and more are achieving this through franchise ownership.

Dedication, perseverance and discipline honed by years in military service, combined with entrepreneurial spirit and opportunity afforded by a successful franchise model makes for a perfect match.  

A commitment to our nation’s Veterans goes far beyond corporate social responsibility, patriotism and supporting our heroes. For franchisors, it is also a proven pathway to attracting some of the best prospective franchisees out there who leave the military with a skillset uniquely matched to franchising.

Patriot Franchise Expo is the perfect forum to meet aspiring Veteran entrepreneurs and share your brand as they explore the possibilities of becoming a Franchisee.

For Veterans

Connect to opportunities for career after service, and an entire support system designed to help military leaders become successful entrepreneurs.

As a Veteran-owned business, we understand the unique strengths, interests and needs of veterans as they leave the military and embark on career after service.

Franchises have a higher rate of success as compared to most start-up businesses.

Here’s why:

• Less risk
• Robust support system
• Access to training and resources
• Proven, well-established model
• Built-in client base
• Flexible work schedule

According to Franchise Wire, this is a great time for franchising. Since the pandemic started, people have been leaving their jobs to find greater flexibility and to “be in charge of their own destinies.”  

Business ownership is a great alternative and franchising makes the path easier, allowing aspiring entrepreneurs to step right into a proven business model with support and training.
