Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Vetrepreneur® Franchise Coaching cost?
Our services are 100% free. Vetrepreneur is a veteran-owned business and may receive referral fees from participating franchise partners which enables us to provide our services for free. This is similar to a recruiting firm or headhunter model. We work with approximately 600 different franchises across 15 different franchise industries and are able to add new ones on an as-needed basis. Other entities involved in your due diligence process will obviously charge you fees if you use them, including lenders, lawyers and accountants.
Can I bring my spouse or partner with me?
Absolutely, you can bring in a cosigner or partner(s) to join your venture. In fact, having multiple stakeholders who are deeply invested in the business’s success often increases the likelihood of achieving high levels of success. This can include groups of veterans, family members, cosigners, or any combination thereof. 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.
How do I access program materials?
All program materials will either be available online or sent to you via email.
If I start the Coaching process, am I obligated to go through the whole process of buying a franchise?
Business ownership is not for everyone. In fact, it’s not for most people. Our goal is to enable you to decide if it is for you by walking you through a comprehensive, 10-step, 10-week process. You may exit the process at any point you are able to make that decision.
How comprehensive is your Franchise Coaching service?
Most franchise consultants are a one-man band with a wide variety of experience level and service consistency. By contrast, 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 person Franchise Coach, client support team and franchise portal access with information 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.

Can I get a list of franchises?
A critically important part of the Vetrepreneur Franchise Coaching process is matching you with Franchises that align with you in our six key areas: your why, your fears, current and desired lifestyle, skills and interests, geographical preferences and financial resources. 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.
How many franchises do you have in your inventory?
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 of 600 franchises spans 15 major industries, offering clients an average of 40 options per industry—making it easier to find a franchise that aligns 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 are franchisors looking for in a great franchise owner?
They’re looking for people who can execute their business plans in a local market. As a franchise owner, you have three primary jobs: 1. Lead your employees. 2. Manage the resources of the business. 3. Act as the face and voice of the business to customers and the community.
You don’t need to be all of those things. Few people are. But you must know your weak areas and surround yourself with others who can cover your blind spots. Specific skills and intangibles that franchisors seek include :
1. The ability to follow a proven process.
2. Build, lead, manage and inspire teams.
3. Desire to serve your community.
4. Customer and relationship-focused.
5. Self-starter.
6. Grit and determination
7. Takes advantage of the support resources at the franchisor and fellow franchisee levels.
Sound like what was expected of you in the military?
Do I need business or industry expertise or experience to get into franchising?
No! You do need to have the attributes that make for a great franchise owner. But you don’t need to be an expert. (Example: You don’t need to be an electrician to run an electrical franchise).
-You don’t need a business degree or business ownership experience.
-You don’t need an idea for a start-up business.
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.
