Honestly, if I had the cash, I'd start up a Chipotle somewhere. Insane profits.

Sean--
Thank you for your service. Franchising represents a significant number of small business ownership opportunities, with a tremendous range of industries. There are several franchises that are supportive of veterans and that offer discounts on franchise fees. The following article lists "The 10 Most Popular Franchises for Military Veterans":

To honor those men and women who have served in the U.S. military, the Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative, known as “VetFran,” was developed to help them transition to civilian life. To date, over 600 franchise companies participate in the program. Their company profiles, as well as the financial incentives they offer to veterans, can be viewed at vetfran.com.

Best of luck to you in your search.
