At Cruise Planners, we're exceptionally proud that our low-cost franchises appeal to a broad range of investors. But our franchise opportunities for veterans are especially smart, as they allow this demographic to utilize the skills they've likely already developed through their military service. Keep reading to learn more about why veterans love the franchise model and can make the most of everything a Cruise Planners investment has to offer.
Veterans Make Great Travel Franchise Owners
Did you know that a veteran owns one out of every seven franchises in America? If you’re a veteran who wants to transition into a meaningful life as a civilian, a Cruise Planners franchise could be your next best move. We’re a great fit for those who are moving on from a military career because:
- You’ll be in business for yourself, allowing you greater flexibility and freedom
- You can use many of the skills that helped you succeed in the military
- You can continue to be there for your community by offering unique and exciting travel industry services
We’ve found that veterans often gravitate to our low-cost franchise opportunity because it allows them to tap into their strengths like other small business investments don’t. Veterans have proven to be hard-working and dedicated, and we’re proud to give them a chance to integrate back into civilian life. Very often, our veteran franchisees are:
- Able to Lead: Many veterans have shown themselves to be leaders during their military careers, and that’s a great quality for small business owners. Franchisees can inspire others, set an example, and prove that small business ownership is possible for just about anyone.
- Able to follow: Many veterans can lead, but they also know when and how to follow. They appreciate systems and guidelines to achieve the best results, which is especially useful when partnering with Cruise Planners because it will enable them to leverage our time-tested business model. Following it will allow veterans to manage nearly every aspect of the day-to-day operations of their franchise, taking a lot of the guesswork out of things and freeing them up to concentrate on customer service and growth.
- Able to Connect: Many veterans gravitate to the military because they like being around people and want to be there for them and their communities. Veterans opening a Cruise Planners franchise will have that same chance. They’ll interact with their clients daily, acting as an important industry resource to help them plan their dream vacations.
We’re Here for You
We know how important teamwork and support are to active military personnel, and they’re just as important in the franchise world. A franchise is much more than a brand name; it’s a collection of small business owners working independently and together for the brand's greater good.
While some franchise opportunities for veterans might leave you high and dry when it comes to helping your business grow, at Cruise Planners, supporting you is our number-one priority. We provide comprehensive training, dedicated business development coaches, award-winning technology, and comprehensive marketing programs to help you establish and grow your travel franchise. This kind of guidance has made us the number one travel franchise opportunity in the industry!
Our Partnership with VetFran
All of us at Cruise Planners are thankful for the sacrifices and service our service members in uniform have made and continue to make. We try to show our appreciation at every opportunity and have partnered with VetFran, a strategic initiative of the International Franchising Association that seeks to help veterans build successful civilian careers through franchising. As a VetFran member, we offer exclusive discounts to qualifying veterans, making it easier for them to transition from the military to the private sector.
Veterans are unique people who know the value of hard work, dedication, and a team mentality. At Cruise Planners, we’re exceptionally proud of our veteran franchisees' many contributions to our brand!
