If an Annex Brands franchisee qualifies for the VetFran discount, what documentation is required to prove eligibility?

I am unable to provide information about the specific documentation needed to prove eligibility for the VetFran discount for an Annex Brands franchise, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document excerpts provided. While the document mentions the VetFran discount in the context of franchise fees and transfer fees, it does not detail the required documentation to qualify for the discount.

For instance, the FDD states that if a franchisee or transferee qualifies for the International Franchise Association's VetFran Program, a 25% discount will be applied to the transfer fee. It also mentions discounted initial franchise fees for franchisees who qualify for the VetFran discount under certain conditions, such as converting an existing business or already owning another Annex Brands location. However, it does not specify what documentation is needed to demonstrate eligibility for the VetFran program.

Therefore, a prospective Annex Brands franchisee interested in the VetFran discount should directly inquire with the franchisor about the specific documentation required to prove eligibility. This may include military service records, discharge papers, or other forms of verification as determined by Annex Brands and the VetFran program.
