I’m interested in franchise opportunities. Would that be a veteran owned business?
VA has an agreement with the International Franchise Association to create a program called VetFran. This is an excellent opportunity for veterans to become business owners. The Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative, commonly known as “VetFran,” allows veterans to acquire a franchise at a discounted rate that is established by the franchisor. Franchising companies absorb the difference. For more information on the VetFran program, call the Center for Veterans Enterprise, or visit the website at http://www.franchise.org/content.asp?parid=356&contentid=549.
