Our Mission: Your Success.
At Veteran Franchise Advisers (VFA), we empower military veterans to achieve their business ownership goals through franchising. As a veteran-founded and operated company, we recognize the distinct skills and discipline veterans acquire through service—qualities that make them excellent franchisees and leaders.
Transitioning from military to civilian life brings both challenges and opportunities. Franchising offers a structured, supportive path to entrepreneurship that complements the veteran mindset. The franchising model provides proven systems, operational playbooks, and a team-oriented environment—areas where veterans excel. More than consultants, we are fellow veterans and advocates, committed to guiding you through your next mission: owning your own business.
