Opportunities for Veterans – Throggs Neck BID

Are you a Veteran seeking exciting business ownership opportunities and looking to leverage your skills in the entrepreneurial world?
We have great news for you! We are thrilled to invite you to an exclusive event, “Franchising 101: Veteran Opportunities in Franchising,” hosted by the International Franchise Association Foundation in partnership with the New York City Department of Veterans’ Services and New York City Small Business Services.

Date: May 31, 2023
Time: 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Venue: Small Business Services,
One Liberty Plaza – 11th Floor Conference Room
New York, NY 10006

Discover the secrets to franchise business ownership at our event, providing essential insights on assessing franchise brands, securing financing, and achieving success. Learn about the extraordinary synergy between the skills of entrepreneurial Veterans and franchising opportunities.

Surprisingly, Veterans, comprising only 7% of the U.S. population, represent a remarkable 14% of all U.S. franchisees. This event proudly features the International Franchise Association Foundation VetFran program, enlightening Veterans, and franchisors about this unique match. Additionally, Veterans are more inclined to hire fellow Veterans, expanding the impact of franchising within the Veteran community.

Join us to access exclusive incentives and discounts available through the VetFran program, equipping you with the tools to navigate your entrepreneurial journey, regardless of your preferred industry or franchise exploration. Agenda: 11:30 AM – Arrival
