Has anyone here bought into a franchise?
I’m exploring franchising as one of several ETA pathways and would love to learn from those who’ve actually gone through it.
If you’ve purchased a franchise—recently or years ago—I’d appreciate hearing about your experience:
  • How did you approach the search and evaluation process?
  • What surprised you (good or bad) once you dug into the FDD?
  • How you structured funding or leveraged veteran programs?
  • What you wish you had known before signing?
  • Whether the franchisor support matched the pitch?
  • How the economics played out vs. expectations?
I’m not looking for a sales pitch - just real-world perspective from fellow veterans who’ve walked this path. Your insights will help me make a more informed decision as I evaluate whether franchising aligns with my long-term operator and portfolio goals.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share.
