MADISON, Ala., Nov. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As International Franchise Association (IFA) businesses honor America's returning servicemen and women with increased employment opportunities and ownership incentives this Veteran's Day, franchisor WIN Home Inspection is taking the IFA's "Operation Enduring Opportunity" initiative a step further with today's launch of its own program called WIN for America.

Beginning in 2012, WIN will present a service award to waive WIN's initial franchise fee every quarter to one veteran from each of the country's five military branches of service. Says WIN Home Inspection president Steve Wadlington, "This Veteran's Day, we wanted to give our country's returning veterans a significant opportunity in recognition of their service and we think our WIN for America program is just that."

To be considered for a WIN Home Inspection Service Award, apply for qualification at www.winfranchise.com or call 800.967.8127 and please reference "WIN for America."

According to U.S. Census data, there are more than 66,000 veteran-owned franchise establishments in the United States, providing jobs directly for 815,000 Americans. "Vets have a proven track record of success in franchising and at WIN that's certainly true," adds Wadlington. "We're proud of our strategic partners. They're respected members of their communities and offer the highest level of customer service. "

One third of WIN Home Inspection's strategic partners are veterans and they'll be helping in the selection and awarding of the WIN for America service awards. WIN is a participant in the IFA's Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative (VetFran), a program established in 1991 as an expression of patriotic gratitude and one that provides financial incentives to aid veterans in acquiring a franchise business. Currently, WIN offers a 10 percent reduction of their franchise fee to military veterans who qualify for its franchises.
