veterans franchise program | veteran franchises | franchising for veterans

Beware of veterans franchise programs!

This website cost a franchise fraud victim their life savings. Don’t have this happen to you through a veterans franchise program!

This franchising for veterans fraud warning website exists to warn you from sailing your financial ship upon the treacherous rocks of franchise churning.

As stated in the book “The Franchise Fraud”, veteran franchises don’t have a chance.

The FTC will not help you.

You will be broke from trying to make the franchise business work, and there will not be any lawyers willing to take on your franchise fraud claim as a contingency case. Like other failed franchisees, you try to salvage what you can financially and quietly row your boat on to another life.

If you do more research, you learn that Franchise Fraud has been around for 20 or 30 years, and the franchisors have the money to retain lawyers, and hire lobbyist to keep the law on their side.

You can read the FTC The Franchise Rule, and see how much the FTC knows about franchise gag orders and franchise confidentiality clauses in the franchise industry, but does nothing about the franchise scams.

This franchise fraud victim recommends to potential victims of veterans franchise program: Go in to business for yourself, and avoid franchising!

If you still feel a need to try franchising, read the book The Franchise Fraud. If, after reading The Franchise Fraud, you found a gem of a franchising for veterans business you can’t stop thinking about, have the AAFD (American Association of Franchise Dealers) review it.

Otherwise, the day you sign your franchise agreement papers, you might as well be presigning your bankruptcy papers.

This franchise fraud victim recommends you avoid any veterans franchise program until it is regulated like stocks are by the SEC. The SEC disclosure requirements of a business would give you much more disclosure as to the true viability if a franchise, and reveal if it is in fact a churning franchise.

Don’t throw your financial life away to veteran franchises!

Beware of Veterans Franchises

Beware! Marketing of veterans franchise & veteran business opportunities

A discount on a veterans franchise scam is still a franchise scam.

The day you sign a franchise agreement as a new veterans franchise, you could be signing your future bankruptcy papers.

If you are a military veteran, seeking a new civilian career, there may be veteran business opportunities claiming to be veterans franchise systems, which are actually franchise scams.

There are franchise scams and franchise churning businesses that are claiming to be veteran business opportunities. These franchise scams have slick looking websites, and marketing materials, but in reality are franchise rip offs that practice Franchise Fraud and Franchise Churning.

Search the internet for a veterans franchise, and there are a number of websites that claim to help with franchises for veterans.

The reality is that is it virtually impossible for anyone to determine if the opportunity is actually practicing franchise fraud. Franchise Rip Offs can follow the money.

The easy mortgages of the 1990's made it easy for home equity loans to finance a franchise, and because of the access to this easy money, franchise scams targeted individuals with home equity.

When the home equity market dried up, the Franchise Scams followed the money to the 401K investment market. Many people had sizable 401K’s, and the Franchise pyramid schemes targeted people with 401K’s.

The IRS clamped down on using 401K’s, so it appears the franchise scam industry is following the money to people who have access to money that could be applied to a franchise scheme.

Veterans franchise programs appear to assist veterans, but can be nothing more than a “discount program” to lure unwary veterans into a franchise fraud. Veteran business opportunities mention financial incentives, but in reality all the veteran franchise offers is a discount.

The Franchise Scam needs people to join the franchise churning program for cash flow reasons, just like a normal business needs to offer a discount in order to maintain cash flow to stay in business.

If one reads the specifics of Veterans franchise programs, veteran business opportunities programs are nothing more than a voluntary effort by some franchisors that is designed to encourage veterans franchise ownership through offering financial discounts to veterans. That’s it.

Veterans franchise programs are nothing more than discounts.

A discount on a franchise scam is still a franchise scam.

If you are a military veteran considering a veterans franchise program, please be aware that many veteran business opportunities are nothing more than franchise fraud.

You must invest in a copy of the book “The Franchise Fraud” by Robert Purvin. And Read it; don’t just put it on a shelf and think you did. http://www.amazon.com/Franchise-Fraud-Protect-Yourself-Before/dp/0471599476
