According to Bernard J. Paprocki, they do. Bernard is the director of the Small Business Administration's Syracuse district...{SBA}
"Veteran's bring a certain skill set to small business. They have a hand up in being successful," he said. Bernard talks about some other skill sets in this article.
I have always thought veterans and the franchise business model were a great potential match. In a franchise, there is a detailed operations manual {The Plan},repetitive training,{Drills},and ongoing support {A Back-Up Plan}.Sounds eerily like being in the military, huh?
If military folks are successful in their roles, doesn't it make sense that they would have a good chance in being a successful franchise owner?In my opinion, military folks really may have an upper hand in their own franchise business success, compared to a civilian.Of course there are no guarantees, but the best way that one can lower their risk when entering into a business of their own is to make sure the right fit is there.Franchising and veterans, may be the right fit!
