From Forces to Franchises. The transition to civilian life upon leaving the forces can present many challenges, not least of which is what career to follow next? When the thought of 9 to 5 might seem a little mundane, one option to take a look at is franchising – which offers a wealth of opportunities in a multitude of industries. And running your own franchise not only provides the backup and support that you might need to plug any gaps in your skills in a business sense;

it’s a sector that actively seeks and encourages those leaving the military to become involved, with strong links between the experiences you’ve had in the forces and the desired traits that many brands look for in their franchisees.

Forces Recruiting Ltd offer a network of support and assistance to all service leavers from within the Army, Navy and RAF. We offer various recruitment, resettlement training and franchise opportunities, with Colleges and Universities also offering courses for forces personnel. We provide links to forces organisations such as The Career Transition Partnership (CTP) Enhanced Learning Credit Scheme (ELC) along with charities such as our chosen charity partner Combat Stress who provide support to service leavers battling PTSD.

Our aim is to create greater awareness of the Military Covenant ensuring that service leavers have a sources of readily available information on resources available to them and that employers recognise the value of the craft and management skills, teamwork and leadership values inherent in military service, ensuring greater job opportunities. We aim to ensure that no service leaver wishing to work remains unemployed.
