If you're an honorably discharged Military Veteran, and you've been setting your sights on becoming a franchise owner, The International Franchise Association (IFA) has a great program just for you. It's called VetFran.
Franchise ownership allows you to be in business "for yourself, but not by yourself." If you've imagined yourself owning your own business, a franchise business may be the way to go.
- There's an operating system in place
- There's a formal training program
- Marketing and advertising is pre-planned
- Field support
- Branding
If those items aren't attractive enough, things can get even better if you're a Military Veteran; you have an opportunity to particiapte in the VetFran program.
From www.Franchise.org
"VetFran was born out of the desire of the late Don Dwyer Sr. – founder of The Dwyer Group, to say thank you to our veterans returning from the first Gulf War. Reborn and re-energized by his daughter, IFA First Vice Chair, Dina Dwyer-Owens after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, VetFran’s ranks have grown to include more than 325 franchise systems that voluntarily offer financial incentives to veterans seeking to become franchise small-business owners. Through the VetFran program more than 1,100 servicemen and women have become franchisees and more are being added every month."

It was easy for Tom Hofer, the Chairman of Spring-Green to "buy" into the VetFran program; Tom's a Military Veteran, too. Navy. Read
Through VetFran, Spring-Green will apply up to $15,000 of the initial franchise fee toward start-up expenses designated or approved by the company.
That's a lot of money.
