Roadmap to Franchise Ownership
This system allows military veterans, spouses and patriots to realize their business ownership dreams through franchising by walking you through a simple, proven process of discovery, selection and ownership.
Vetrepreneur Franchise Coaching is a comprehensive service that was designed for members of the military community, including active and Reserve service members, veterans and current and former military spouses.
However, our service has great applicability, and our coaches have had great success, working with indirect members of the military community, a group we call Patriots.
Eligibility as a Patriot is simple. If you have a parent, grandparent, child, grandchild or sibling (actual, step or in-law for all of the above) who served in the military or is or was a military spouse, then you are eligible for Vetrepreneur Franchise Coaching services.
Simply select “Patriot” on the eligibility portion of the form here and identify the relation and first and last name of that person.
Our team is comprised of veterans and patriots and we know the unique advantages and challenges to franchising from the veterans’ perspective.
We’ve been working with veterans and franchising since the company was founded in 2001. We created the National Veteran Owned Business Association in 2008 and maintain a close partnership with this venerable organization. We created Vetrepreneur® magazine and its predecessor Veterans Business Journal in 2004. We advocated for the government to meet its service-disabled, veteran-owned small business goal. We advocated for the passage of state laws mandating use of veterans in state contracts resulting in 28 additional states passing laws between 2006 and 2012. We created the Buy Veteran movement in 2009 which encourages all Americans to buy products and services from veteran-owned businesses. Finally, we created the Vetrepreneur of the Year® program in 2006.
If you’re looking for a franchise buffet, you’ve come to the wrong place. Our system matches you to franchise opportunities based on five factors: desired lifestyle, skills and interests, geographic preferences and financial resources. Most veterans we work with end up choosing a business they never envisioned themselves in.
As a member of the International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG), we have partnerships with about 600 of the top franchises in the United States in all sectors of franchising.
We educate and support you through the entire 2-4 month process from initial inquiry to franchise award.
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.
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.
Most franchise consultants are a one-man band. Vetrepreneur is a team of professionals dedicated to helping you find your best path to owning and operating your own business. You’ll have access your dedicated personal coach and franchise portal access with informations and resources needed throughout your journey. We have connections to funding & loan experts, CPAs, accountants, credit repair specialists and legal specialists as needed along the way.

Sound like what was expected of you in the military?
The franchisor will train you in everything you need to know to be successful in the business and will provide ongoing training and support. Also, just like the mentality in the military, franchisees can lean on other franchisees in the system for advice and support.
**Why we ask for financial information: Many franchisors have minimum capital, net worth and credit score requirements. Providing this information upfront ensures you’re set up for financial success and paired with the best franchise for you from the get-go. Your information is secure and we don’t share any information without your approval.
