About Us
What is the AFNV?
At AFNV.org – The American Franchise Network for Veterans, we’re proud to highlight a powerful truth: while veterans represent just 7% of the U.S. population, they make up an impressive 14% of all franchise owners nationwide. Veterans don’t just thrive in franchising—they uplift others by hiring fellow service members and fueling opportunity, economic growth, and job creation across the country. At AFNV, our mission is to expand this impact by connecting skilled, driven, and patriotic veterans with the franchise ownership pathways they deserve. We’re here to support their transition from service to successful entrepreneurship—because when veterans lead, communities grow.
At AFNV.org – We stand alongside our veteran community to help individuals from all walks of life turn their leadership, discipline, and experience into business ownership, financial independence, and community impact.
- Empower Through Education
We equip veterans with the tools they need to succeed through up-to-date franchising insights, expert-led training, verified resources, and specialized learning pathways tailored to aspiring veteran franchisees. - Grow Through Collaboration
We connect the veteran franchising community to share knowledge, spark partnerships, and fuel collective success. AFNV is your trusted network—a place to connect, grow, and thrive with others who share your values and drive. - Lead Through Advocacy
We ensure the voice of veteran franchisees is heard loud and clear. By sharing the positive impact of veteran-owned franchises with policymakers, regulators, and the public, we work to protect, strengthen, and expand the opportunities available to those who’ve served our nation.
Our Vision
At AFNV.org – We’re more than just an organization—we’re a mission-driven movement dedicated to empowering veterans through franchise ownership. We proudly serve as a nationwide force and trusted resource, championing veteran entrepreneurs and protecting the franchise model that enables them to succeed.
Every initiative we support is focused on advancing the future of franchising for veterans—from advocacy and education to connection and opportunity. With every contribution and partnership, we’re fueling one of America’s most powerful economic engines and helping those who served our country realize their dreams of business ownership.
We believe there’s power in community and strength in shared purpose. Join us in our mission to elevate veteran voices, protect the franchise opportunity, and grow a future where veterans don’t just transition—they thrive. Read more about our programs and how you can be part of the movement.
