1. Franchise Opportunities

=================================

Thanks for visiting our newsletter.

Do you consider yourself a diamond in the rough?
Are you possibly the type that wants to work for
themselves? Take a look at some hard to find
information below.

Did you know there are government guidelines in place
for veterans to have a franchise? Have you ever heard of
the International Franchise Association (IFA)? Did anyone
ever share with you that the U.S. Department of Veteran
Affairs (VA) and the IFA have a joint effort to assist
veterans with having a franchise as they transition
out of the military? It actually exist and this
newsletter will let you know where to research your
franchise opportunity. All franchise opportunities are
governed by law and all participants are required
to meet the guidelines and criteria to qualify.

(MOU) between the International Franchise Association and the
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs:

Let’ face it. We all know most military people can work with
systems and can follow guidelines Basically, a franchise is a
system. When you purchase a franchise, you’re purchasing
a system that has proven to be effective.

Just think back, in every McDonald’s, the fries are on the left and the
coffee is on the right. The McDonald’s system is duplicated
in every McDonalds you’ve ever visited. You may also decide that
this is an option for you as you leave the military.

Franchises aren’t for everyone. Some of you may want to
venture off and create your own business. Many of you will
prefer to have a job after the military. There will be a few of
you who will bite at the chance to have a system as your next
career move. Are franchise start-ups easy? I’m sure they
can be complicated and also rewarding if you make the
right choices. Keep in mind, I’ll provide the links and it will
be up to you to research and see if this is an option you
may want to launch in the near future.

To research franchising options, see the Veterans Transition
Franchise Initiative, better known as VetFran at:

http://www.vetbiz.gov/start/vetfran.htm

There are reduced down payments for the initial cost of the
franchise with this program. Read all of the details and
contact the listed agencies for assistance.

Let me know if any of you decide to own a franchise.
This would let us know we are encouraging you to take
leaps with your military transition.
