Our franchise coaching services are 100% free and it won’t cost you any less by going direct to a franchise. Similar to having a real estate agent, we are paid by franchisors if and when you become a franchisee.
Absolutely! We encourage you to bring your spouse or partner, even if they will not be part of the day-to-day activities, as you’ll most likely be making decisions together. Additionally, you can bring in a cosigner or partner(s) to join your venture. Having multiple stakeholders, such as groups of veterans, family members, or any combination thereof, who are deeply invested in the business’s success often increases the likelihood of achieving high levels of success. The best part is, you can all engage in discussions with your coach collectively, ensuring everyone is aligned and contributing to the business’s prosperity.
Program materials will be available online and accessible anytime.
All sessions are recorded and available for later viewing.
Business ownership is not for everyone. In fact, it’s not for most people. So you are free to exit the process at any point with no obligation.
An important part of the Vetrepreneur Franchise Coaching process is matching you with Franchises that align with you in four areas: lifestyle desires, professional skills, geographical preferences and financial capacity. Our process ensures that you spend valuable time exploring franchises that are best suited for long term success and that you are guided and educated at every step along the journey. Conversely, shortchanging our process by going to a “franchise buffet” wastes everyone’s time and does a disservice to both the prospective franchisee as well as the franchisor.
We offer a wide range of franchise opportunities to suit your needs, whether you’re interested in a home-based, brick-and-mortar, or mobile franchise. Our extensive portfolio includes options across 15 major industries, ensuring you’ll find something that aligns perfectly with your goals and resources.
As proud members of the International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG), we connect you with top franchises that are designed to help you succeed.
What you DON’T need to get started.
The franchisor will provide comprehensive training on everything you need to know to be successful in the business, along with ongoing training and support. Additionally, similar to the camaraderie in the military, franchisees can rely on one another for advice and support within the franchise system.
