## Story

9Round Franchising, LLC, has been ranked 60th on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2021 list of Top Franchises for Veterans. This is the fifth consecutive year 9Round has been included on this list, which features a diverse range of franchises that offer advantageous opportunities to military veterans.

Entrepreneur magazine's Top Franchises for Veterans list ranks the top 150 franchises that offer incentives and other programs to help veterans become franchisees. 9Round, which is already known for its low start-up costs, offers veteran-friendly financing options, including a 20 percent discount on the initial franchise fee for veterans.

“9Round has an incredible track record of supporting our military veterans and helping them start their own business as franchisees and entrepreneurs in our business,” said Shannon Hudson, founder and CEO of 9Round. “Veterans, as a result of their training, are highly skilled at following proven systems and are not afraid of challenges. They are proven leaders and we eagerly embrace each opportunity to add a veteran to our growing network of 9Round franchise owners.”

To develop the list of the Top Franchises for Veterans, Entrepreneur invited hundreds of companies to take part in a survey that requested information regarding each company’s veteran programs. Such information included the company’s veteran incentives and how veteran franchisees are attracted to and supported by the company, as well as how each company scored in the 2020 Franchise 500 list.
