Veteran Friendly Franchise Opportunity

Veteran Friendly Franchise

 

It’s no surprise that veterans make great franchisees. That is why 2nd Family is a veteran friendly franchise. Veterans understand the concept of working as a unit to increase the likelihood of mission success. They’ve been trained to follow rules and procedures. They are committed and know that hard work gets results. So it’s also not surprising that recent reports show that military veterans own over 14% of all franchises in the US right now. Which means that one in every seven franchises is veteran owned and operated. 

2nd Family is proud to be considered a veteran friendly franchise. Veterans are offered a 10% discount on the initial franchise fee. One of 2nd Family’s goals is to train and retain military veterans as franchisees and provide them the tools to become successful business owners.  Being a veteran friendly franchise is important. Especially when last surveyed, over a quarter of military members said they wanted to own their own business one day. 2nd Family is ready to help any veteran start their own senior home care agency and continue to serve and care for our country’s citizens.

Veteran Business Benefits

There are now more benefits than ever to help veterans establish their own franchises. The recent “Veteran Entrepreneurs Act of 2019” gives veterans a franchising fee credit “equal to 25 percent of the qualified franchise fee paid”. Read the full Act here.  The U.S. Small Business Administration or SBA is currently offering Veterans Advantage Guaranteed Loans “designed to assist veterans in acquiring capital to start, grow or succeed in business.” Check out the SBA Veterans Advantage Guaranteed Loans fact sheet here.  

There’s never been a better time for veterans to make the transition from active duty to business owner. Veterans make great franchisees. That’s a fact. Be sure to review individual state websites for added benefits of being a veteran owned small business. Some states have implemented policies and programs to help veteran entrepreneurs. West Virginia, Washington, New York, California, Michigan, and Georgia are just a few of the states that have advantageous programs for veterans looking to start their own business.  

Veteran owned and operated franchises are largely successful because Americans want to support those who have served our country.  Being a veteran translates very well in the senior home care industry. Over half of the veterans of the U.S. military are age 65 or older. Those 9 million plus senior veterans are going to need in-home care to continue to age in place, if they don’t already.  It makes sense that those senior veterans are going to choose and trust a veteran owned and operated home care company to provide that service.  

2nd Family recognizes that veterans are an asset to any organization and the franchising world as a whole. The senior home care industry is growing faster than ever and there’s no better time for veterans to recognize the potential of starting their own 2nd Family Home Care franchise.

Thank you for your service.
