Are you a veteran or active-duty member of the U.S. military in search of your next mission? A franchise might just be the perfect fit. In fact, many franchisors actively seek to recruit veterans—because they know that a veteran’s leadership and team-building skills, determination, familiarity with follow- ing established playbooks, and ability to adapt to challenges can make them ideal candidates for franchise ownership. One of the ways these companies attract veterans (and thank them for their service) is by offering incentives, usually in the form of franchise fee discounts, to make it easier for them to get into business.
