VetFran recognizes global leader in shipping and printing solutions as a 5-star brand

PostNet, a global leader in high-quality printing and shipping solutions, has been recognized as one of the top franchises for veterans after being named a 5-star brand by VetFran, which is a program of the International Franchise Association.

Franchisors selected as 5-star brands must have a clean audit report, minimum 20% discount on initial franchise fee, at least five years continuously operating a franchise, at least 50 units open, at least an 80% continuity rate over the past three years, and at least one certified franchise executive on staff.

"Being recognized as a 5-star brand is a testament to the continued success of the PostNet franchise as well as our efforts to recruit more veterans into our franchise system," said Bill McPherson, vice president of franchise development for PostNet. "We will continue to strive to be one of the best franchise opportunities for our servicemen and women who want to maintain their independence while operating a business of their own."

The mission for VetFran is to educate veterans and franchisors about the demands and opportunities of being a franchisee. The organization also helps the transition of veterans into franchising by encouraging franchisors to offer incentives while also assembling resources and a database of franchising opportunities.

"Many veterans look to franchising because of the flexibility they can maintain while earning a continued stream of income," McPherson said. "Veterans have many skills that help them be successful in the franchising world. At PostNet, we make the pathway to owners as smooth as possible for veterans by offering a 30% reduction in the franchise fee if the veteran is honorably discharged."
