Strong leadership skills<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Military veterans are used to operating in an extremely structured and team-oriented environment. They know how to give orders and delegate. Whether the franchise business requires managing a team of two or 200, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/important-leadership-skills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">veterans know how to lead<\/a> , stay organized, and function under pressure.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. Adept at following systems<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Good franchisors lay out the steps for success in advance. The most successful franchisees are those that follow the guidelines set by the franchisor and that utilize all of the resources and support available to them. Veterans are skilled at taking orders and getting things done \u2013 their lives oftentimes depend on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter my career in the military ended, I looked at franchising because it was a perfect fit for me,\u201d says Tai Jeffries, owner of Maid Simple House Cleaning of Fort Wayne, Ind. \u201cAs a former airman\/soldier, I am skilled at following instructions and completing tasks. By following my franchise procedures, I know I will be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Dedication and perseverance<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Any business owner will tell you that no matter what type of product or service you sell, running a business is never easy. A commitment to the brand and a passion for success can make a huge difference in the overall prosperity of the franchise business. For veterans, hard work and commitment are a part of the job description. You\u2019d be hard pressed to find a person more dedicated than a veteran who has sacrificed for his or her country. Determination, dedication, and performance are ingrained in their work ethic.<\/p>\n<p>As thousands of men and women return home from war, it is important to acknowledge the skills they have acquired during their military careers \u2013 and that make them invaluable additions to the workforce as small business owners.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>VetFran Franchise Owners Program<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside the IFA\u2019s VetFran program that helps returning service members access franchise opportunities through training, financial assistance, and industry support, many franchisors value the business traits of veterans and offer pricing breaks, financing, and other incentives.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest piece of advice for veterans considering franchising?<\/p>\n<p>Do your homework. Conduct research. Talk to franchisors <i>and<\/i> franchisees. Make sure the franchise you choose matches your lifestyle and business goals.
