Matco Tools Named To G. I. Jobs 2012 Military Friendly Franchise List

Matco Tools was named as one of the top veteran friendly franchises in America for 2012 by G.I. Jobs, as determined by the organization's Military Friendly Franchise Advisory Board. This honor distinguishes Matco Tools from over 4,000 franchise companies and highlights the commitment the company has made to offering military friendly business opportunities. This honor and Matco Tools' new double incentive for veterans who start a Matco Tools franchise (an increase from $5,000 to $10,000 towards start-up costs) demonstrate Matco Tools' commitment to assisting veterans with building a mobile tools business.

Over 230 veteran franchisees have found a new professional life with Matco Tools. Thomas Ryan, a 28-year Army veteran and Matco Tools distributor in Colorado says, "It can be intimidating to start a business like this, but within a month of starting my franchise it was successfully paying its own bills. I see the parallels between Matco and the military. Matco cares about the military and how they serve our country, they give you the whole package when it comes to starting your own franchise," Mr. Ryan said.

Returning to civilian life after military service is different for every person, but Matco Tools offers mobile tool franchise opportunities from an established company that has a history of success. By choosing to purchase a Matco Tools franchise, veterans have the opportunity and freedom to run their own mobile tool business, with the backing of a powerful national brand.

In addition, Matco Tools provides at least 325 potential customers along with a pre-qualified list of calls with comprehensive training to service these customers and run a successful business. Ongoing training and support is provided so distributors receive continued assistance as they grow their business.
