## Story

FranNet, the nation's leading franchise consultants, frequently work with veterans to place them into business opportunities.

St. Louis resident Andrey Barshay left the Air Force and worked with FranNet consultant Chris Coleman to find a new career as the owner of a HouseMaster franchise.

The duo now both attend Boots2Business classes to teach others about the business opportunities in franchising.

“There are some common denominators about successful franchise owners and veterans,” Coleman said to the St. Louis Business Journal. “Veterans work well within a team environment, and they are very disciplined individuals.”
