WHY MILITARY VETERANS

MAKE OUTSTANDING BUSINESS OWNERS

Strong Leadership Skills

Veterans are trained to lead in high-pressure situations, manage teams effectively, and make quick decisions. Their experience in leading and motivating teams under challenging circumstances translates directly into running a business. As entrepreneurs, they know how to set clear objectives, build team cohesion, and handle leadership responsibilities with confidence.

Discipline and Work Ethic

The military instills a level of discipline and accountability that’s hard to match. Veterans are accustomed to following through on tasks, sticking to schedules, and managing their time efficiently—traits that are critical for running a successful business. They’re used to working hard, staying focused on long-term goals, and making strategic decisions, even when things don’t go as planned.

Adaptability and Problem Solving

Military veterans face rapidly changing and unpredictable environments, which sharpens their ability to adapt quickly and solve complex problems. In business, the ability to pivot, adjust to new markets, and respond to unexpected challenges is vital for success. Veterans excel at finding solutions in tough situations and think critically when facing what seem to be insurmountable obstacles.

Teamwork and Communication

The military emphasizes effective communication and working cohesively with others to accomplish objectives. Veterans are accustomed to collaborating across teams and departments, ensuring everyone is on the same page. As business owners, they can build strong teams, foster a positive work culture, and maintain open lines of communication with employees, clients, and stakeholders.

Resilience and Mental Toughness

Veterans have developed the mental fortitude to overcome personal and professional setbacks, making them naturally resilient in the face of adversity. This resilience is crucial for entrepreneurs, who often face financial challenges, setbacks, and tough decisions. Veterans are more likely to persevere through tough times, keep a level head, and come up with new strategies to move forward.

Experience With Systems & Ops

In the military, operations are heavily dependent on systems, processes, and procedures. Veterans are trained to follow and manage complex systems that ensure things run smoothly. This makes them excellent at establishing clear operational processes, managing resources, and optimizing workflows—key elements of a successful business. They bring structure and organization to their business.

Special Benefits and Advantages

For Veteran Business Owners

Financial Assistance & Funding

Veterans have access to several financial programs to help fund their businesses. The SBA offers loan programs like the Veteran-Owned Business Loan and SBA Express Loans with favorable terms for veterans.

Additionally, the Veterans Advantage program reduces fees for SBA loans. Veterans can also access private loans and grants from organizations like the StreetShares Foundation.

While federal grants are limited, veterans with disabilities may qualify for additional funding through programs like the Wounded Warrior Project, which helps cover startup costs and provides ongoing support.

Tax Incentives

Military veterans can take advantage of various tax incentives when starting a business. The Veterans Employment Tax Credit (VETC) provides tax credits to employers who hire veterans, encouraging veteran employment.

Many states offer tax breaks, including property tax exemptions or credits for veterans starting businesses. Service-disabled veterans often receive even more benefits, such as property tax exemptions.

These tax incentives help reduce financial pressure during the early stages of business ownership, making it more affordable for veterans to launch and sustain their ventures.

Business Development and Training

Veterans can access numerous resources for business development and training. The SBA’s Office of Veterans Business Development offers specialized programs, while Veteran Business Outreach Centers (VBOCs) provide free counseling and mentorship.

Programs like Bunker Labs and Patriot Boot Camp offer networking and educational opportunities tailored to veteran entrepreneurs. Veterans can also attend the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV), which provides intensive training.

These resources help veterans build skills, gain confidence, and navigate the complexities of starting and growing a business.

Government Contract Opportunities

Veterans have special access to government contracts through the Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certifications.

These certifications allow veterans to bid on federal contracts set aside specifically for veteran-owned businesses. The government has a goal of awarding at least 3% of contracts to veterans, which provides substantial opportunities.

State and local governments also offer veteran-specific contracting opportunities. These programs create lucrative business opportunities and help veteran-owned businesses.

Networking & Community Support

Veterans benefit from a robust network of support organizations and veteran-focused business communities.

Groups like the Veterans Business Network (VBN) and the National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA) connect veteran entrepreneurs, offering resources like events, mentorship, and educational programs. Organizations like Bunker Labs and Patriot Boot Camp provide veteran-specific networking opportunities and workshops.

The veteran business community fosters collaboration and support, helping veterans connect with peers, potential partners, and mentors, all while sharing experiences and resources that can help their businesses thrive.

Support for Service Disabled Vets

Service-disabled veterans receive specialized assistance to help them succeed in business.

The Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) certification allows them to access additional contracting opportunities, particularly in government sectors.

Nonprofit organizations, such as the Wounded Warrior Project, provide grants, funding, and business resources to support veterans with disabilities.

These organizations help with startup costs, business training, and ongoing business development. The extra resources available ensure that service-disabled veterans have the support needed to overcome challenges and build successful businesses.

Business Ownership

But Why Franchising?

You may have heard the statistics about business ownership, the ones about how around 80% of new business startups fail within the first few years. But did you know that most good franchise systems have a 90% or more long-term success rate over at least 10 years?

With the right brand, franchising is the safest, and most predictable path to business ownership and generational wealth creation. this outstanding success rate is due to a few factors not present with independent startups.

The proof of concept has already been established by the company founder. People demand the service or product.
Tested, proven, and replicated plug & play systems reduce wasted time and resources caused by trial and error.
There is existing brand reputation locally, regionally, nationally, globally. Customers know your business on day one.
Lower startup expenses thanks to cooperative purchasing agreements.
Comprehensive initial training and ongoing corporate and peer support. In business for yourself, but not by yourself.
Most franchises place a high priority on military veterans offering significant franchise fee discounts.
