Proposed Bill That Will Help Veterans Open Franchises

US Republican Aaron Schock has proposed a measure currently pending in Congress that would give veterans who purchase a franchise a large rebate for franchise fees. 

The proposed bill would offer a tax rebate of up to $12,500 (or half of what they pay in franchise fees, whichever is lower) for any fees required of the veteran who wants to open a franchise.  In turn companies who offer discounted franchise fees to veterans would receive a tax rebate of up to $12,500 (or half of the discounted franchise fee, whichever is lower) also. 

For example if the company normally charges a franchise fee of $20,000 and offers a discounted fee of $10,000 the franchisee will pay $10,000 and the franchisor will get reimbursed $5,000 and the franchisee will be able to receive a tax rebate of $5,000.

If you are considering the purchase of a franchise you should speak with an experienced franchise lawyer about any questions you may have on the process of buying a franchise.  Contact Charles Internicola, Staten Island New York franchise attorney, at 718.979.4300 to discuss opening a franchise.  Attorney Charles Internicola represents clients in New York, New Jersey and nationwide in franchise purchases everyday.
