The Vetrepreneur Franchise Coaching system is unlike other ways to look for a franchise. Here's why:

This system enables military veterans to achieve their business ownership dreams through franchising by guiding them through a simple 10-step proven process from discovery and selection to owning their own business.

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.

IFPG Member

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 process. Everyone’s journey is unique, but you could be awarded in as little as 10 weeks!

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. We have connections to funding & loan experts, CPAs, accountants, credit repair specialists and legal specialists as needed along the way.

Here in our franchise portal, you’ll have access to additional information, resources and tools as you progress through your jouney with you coach. It’s also, here where you’ll be presented franchise options you’re coach will review with you once you’ve progressed to Step four.

Involving family, partners, or friends in franchise coaching is beneficial because it provides essential emotional support, diverse perspectives, and shared commitment, all of which are crucial for the success of the franchise. Their participation could increase the potential for additional investment, further strengthening the financial foundation of the venture. This collaborative approach fosters a stronger foundation for making informed decisions and navigating the complexities of running a franchise.

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.

Becoming a franchisee through the Vetrepreneur® Coaching Service gives you access to free Vetreprenur® content, discounted veteran hiring services through G.I. Jobs®, one year free full membership to Buy Veteran and eligibility to earn recognition through the local and national Vetrepreneur of the Year® and Franchise Vetrepreneur of the Year® awards.
