## Story

**In a recent Franchise Dictionary article****, Dawn Abbamondi, director of brand development and marketing at** **SMB Franchise Advisors****, shared insights into career options for veterans looking for a new opportunity. According to Abbamondi, veterans are well-positioned for a career in franchising.**

**Many brands have seen their veteran franchisees become top performers again and again. Since veterans are used to following a process, leading by an example and taking risks, they’re well-suited for owning a business.**

**“Veterans are among the best business owners out there; they put others first, whether it’s their family, staff, customers, community or country,” Abbamondi told Franchise Dictionary.**

**Another point that makes veterans ideal candidates for franchising is that they are used to working in teams. The franchise industry is all about support and working together from the corporate team to individual franchisees and their staff. Based on their background and experience, veterans should consider franchising for the next step in their career path.**
