Here are some snippets of what a couple of our franchisees have said about their franchise coaching experience

"When I learned about Vetrepreneur.com I was researching immediately. Next thing I know I was working with my franchise coach George, an Air Force veteran. He had been a franchise owner before and was ready to assist me along this new journey. It took a few simple questions to see what I was interested in to find the available options in my area. All I had to do was pick one. Once I did that George guided me through the rest of the steps. Thanks to George and the staff at Vetrepreneur.com."

Chris, George and the team relieved the anxiety and apprehension in my entrepreneurial journey to franchise ownership.  They have a ten step process that is guided, easy, and transparent.  Zero "I got ya!" moments.  There are many Veteran Entrepreneur programs out there.  I can't speak to them.  I will state that this program is top shelf, the gold standard, and the only one I will recommend!  If you are committed and accountable to yourself, then change your future with Vetrepreneur.com.

"My coach stood by our side every step of the way, dedicating his time and expertise to help us find the perfect fit for our entrepreneurial goals. His in-depth knowledge of the franchise industry, coupled with his genuine commitment to our success, made the journey all the more pleasant and rewarding. This achievement would not have been possible without his invaluable insights, unwavering dedication and support. We wholeheartedly recommend working with Vetrepreneur to aspiring entrepreneurs seeking to embark on their franchise journey."

Julio Choy, Home Clean Heroes Franchisee
"From the start, the process was fun and exciting, and all the players from Vetrepreneur® to the franchise development teams proceeded on my timeline. My Vetrepreneur® Coach, Doug Hoerster, who tailored this whole experience to me, provided such good and timely guidance. I started the Vetrepreneur® journey in late November 2023, and in February 2024, I became a franchise owner. I am extremely excited for what lies ahead. Don’t be afraid to dream big, and bring Vetrepreneur® along to help your dreams come true!"

Angela Morales Franchisee
"My coach was a great franchise coach, he was able to connect me with a franchise that without his guidance I would not have even considered as an option for me. All of the partners he recommended from the attorney to the lender were responsive, knowledgeable and offered great insight."
Juanita B.Franchisee

Juanita Bovain, franchisee, College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving, Navy veteran
“My coach and his team supported and explained every step of our process, using the service was free and the end result of the mentorship, encouragement and support was invaluable. On our franchise approval day there were 12 other potential franchisees, when I spoke about Vetrepreneur and what support we had they were all in awe!”
David V.Franchisee
Navy veteran
David J Vermette, HoundsTown Franchisee
"Working with my coach was exceptional. He had my best interest from the beginning of the process. He provided me with a quality list of franchises and helped me narrow down to one that fit for me. He ensured me he would be with me every step of the process and was one call away if I needed help."
DaShawn W.Franchisee
Army veteran
DaShawn Williams, The Grounds Guys
"This is not just another random veteran program to complete a checkbox. Starting with just the Vetrepreneur information call, I knew that if I ever was going to have the chance to be a business owner this was my shot. I would have never broken out my shell if it were not for this program. I can’t thank the team enough for offering a free program to veterans that provides generational wealth opportunities to families like mine."
Tim & Tina P.Franchisee

Vetrepreneur and Franchisee Tim and Elena Paige
"Owning my own business has been a topic of discussion at our dinner table for years. I stumbled upon Vetrepreneur® one day by chance. I am glad I did. From the initial registration to getting awarded the franchise agreement, it has been a pleasant and wholesome experience. He listened to my concerns and took the time to be patient with me. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to own a franchise to go through the Vetrepreneur team!"

"My franchise coach was professional, patient and guided me through every step of the process making sure I was comfortable in my decisions without pressure to sign any contract. Ultimately, I chose to partner with and become a Senior Helpers franchise owner and have been loving every second of the journey."

Slade Abisror, Senior Helpers Franchisee
"It was a true pleasure working with Doug on our journey to franchise ownership. I’ll also say that the guidance provided in the Vetrepreneur® website was extremely valuable. Specifically for understanding what questions to ask the franchisors, current franchisees, and the loan providers. Doug’s contributions have not only led us to a promising franchise opportunity but have also fostered a sense of confidence and clarity as we step into the realm of franchise ownership."
Emmanuel B.Franchisee
Air Force veteran
Emmanuel Bronson Vetrepreneur and Franchisee
When I began my franchise journey, I was dubious. My perspective completely changed after I met my coach. Throughout the entire process, my franchise coach was there for me. We met every week, but whenever I had a question or worry, he would answer the phone and help me with it. He was affable and a pleasure to speak with. I wish I had taken this action years ago. Love and regards to the Vetrepreneur team.

Vetrepreneur and Franchisee Rashad Johnson
"My coach was tremendous to work with. He wasn’t pushy, or salesy and took the time to get to know me, what I wanted out of my own business, and where I was in life. He presented me multiple options, and helped me narrow them down based on my background and desires. I would partner with him again any day!"
Beau M.Franchisee
Army veteran
Beau McNeff, Franchisee
"From the very beginning my coach was focused on what would be best for my situation and he was the perfect balance between professional and personal. Working with my coach was like working with a friend that wanted to get me into the best business possible. He walked me through every step of the process."
Jake W.Franchisee
Army veteran
Jake Whitchurch, Franchisee
"After I connected the dots with how franchising worked, my franchise coach started looking for the right match for me. We looked at dozens of franchises and my coach was very informative on the pros and cons to each. My coach was the perfect contact for me to get started in my journey of owning a business. I refer my coach anytime anyone asks me how to get started."
Caleb S.Franchisee
Marine Corps veteran
Caleb Schutter Shack Shine Franchisee
"My coach was amazing throughout the 10 step process. My coach, a prior retiree and Franchisee himself had a vast amount of experience and knowledge. George was there with us from the beginning through fruition as we progressed through the process, allowing the process to flow more smoothly giving me/us the peace of mind we needed to move forward and become successful franchisees."
