Every Fourth of July we celebrate our national independence ushered in by the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Since that time, dedicated men and women serving in the Armed Forces have protected our independence at great cost and sacrifice to themselves. Honoring Veterans on July 4th and every day is an integral part of the culture at Home Franchise Concepts (HFC), including offering significant discounts to qualified Veterans to purchase a franchise business.

Celebrate Independence Day by becoming an independent franchise business owner

Financial independence with a strong support infrastructure

Re-entering the civilian workforce after military service can be challenging. Insecurity of how learned skills will translate to the work world and/or not wanting to work for someone else are common issues for Veterans. For many, a franchise business opportunity may be the perfect answer and HFC’S three franchise brands, Budget Blinds®, The Tailored Closet® and Concrete Craft®, are ready to oblige.

With over 20 years of franchising experience, HFC knows the value that military training can bring to the civilian workforce. “The training, discipline, and teamwork instilled in members of the U.S. Armed Forces prepare every veteran for a successful role as a franchise business owner. Our goal is to provide significant financial incentives to make a veteran’s transition into the civilian workforce a smooth and successful one.” –Shirin Behzadi, CEO of Home Franchise Concepts

Offering discounts to qualified Veterans helps pave the way to financial independence and career satisfaction as an independent franchise business owner. It’s a tangible way to say a big “thank you for your service.”

To all Veterans:  “Thank you for your service and sacrifice”

HFC’s legacy of honoring and supporting military Veterans goes beyond franchise discounts to programs and initiatives designed to enhance their lives on many levels.

• In the U.S., we have partnered with Homes for Our Troops (HFOT) a non-profit organization that builds specially adapted, mortgage-free homes for severely wounded veterans who have suffered catastrophic injuries, post -9/11.
• In Canada, our partnership with Wounded Warriors Canada (WWC) supports Canada’s ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans and their families.
• Budget Blinds and The Tailored Closet have participated in multiple home renovations for Veterans with Designing Spaces’ Military Makeover airing on Lifetime® Television as well as NBC’s George to the Rescue.
• A new Veteran initiative this year is HFC’s There’s No Place Like Home – Veteran Partnership and Giveaway to award one independently owned franchise business to a qualified Veteran in the U.S. or Canada. One Budget Blinds, The Tailored Closet or Concrete Craft franchise will be awarded on November 11, 2017, Veteran’s Day.
