Military Friendly® gives you a trusted, free way to get involved with Veterans and military families. From BUYING from Veteran-owned businesses to REFERRING Veterans and their spouses interested in franchising, and by RECOGNIZING deserving Veterans eligible for the Veteran of the Year® awards program.
Here's How to Get Involved.
Buy from Veteran-Owned Businesses
Search, buy, and support verified Veteran-owned businesses in your community and nationwide. Every purchase is a direct investment in those who served.
Refer a Veteran or military spouse who might be ready to take their next step toward franchise ownership. By making a referral, you give them access to expert coaching and a proven path to business success.
