Veterans… Are you the most sought-after franchisee on the planet? You should be, and here are a few reasons why:
1.) You accomplish the mission! Veterans of the armed forces are used to accomplishing complex tasks given very little information up front with which to work towards their end goal. You’re mission focused problem solvers, and brilliant ones! Imagine how well you would do as a franchisee, in a situation where the franchisor essentially spells out for you in a step by step manner exactly how to get to where you want to go. Only now, the mission is for your family, your retirement, and your wealth. The stakes have never been higher and the motivation to accomplish the mission is as well!
2.) 97% of franchisors surveyed said that veterans make great franchisees and 99% said veterans are great employees within their franchise systems. Of the 3% that said veterans were not a good fit, “high level of investment barrier” was the primary reason given as to why they were not. Most of those were likely the high cost franchises, and thankfully, most franchises require far less to get started. We can help you select one that fits every check box you have, including the financial one, so don’t worry! There’s a franchise out there that is the right one for you!
3.) Franchisees that are veterans are nearly 30% more likely to hire other veterans as employees. What better way to support your brothers and sisters than creating good jobs and opportunities for them?
4.) Franchises offer training. You, as a veteran, can rest assured that you are going in business FOR yourself but not BY yourself. Following the roadmap to success your franchisor gives you in the tools, training and systems that come along with your franchise investment will get you closer to your end goal faster and far more safely than if you “go it alone.”
5.) Your grit. You’ve gone through some of the toughest training on the planet and after that, may have endured through some of the toughest living and operating conditions on the planet for months or years at a time. You’re a survivor who is born and bred to win, compete and dominate, and as such, you have an immediate advantage over the “normal business owner.”
In short, more franchisors should be targeting veterans specifically for their franchise offerings. It’s a phenomenal alternative to coming out of the military and having to search for a job in the corporate world, as it allows a veteran to create their own opportunity. As for franchisors, it provides mission focused winners who will help them grow for years to come as partners in business.
