John Chason - Franchise Advisor
John began his career as a Financial Consultant with major Wall Street firms in 1990. After excelling in providing advice to investors, he exited the W2 life and became an entrepreneur and investor. John started and exited several businesses, ultimately resulting in advising and consulting with startups and venture capital firms to create funding partnerships. While still helping entrepreneurs and investors, John analyzed and invested in real estate investments ranging from short term rentals to mobile home parks. John then founded BridgeWay Franchise Advisory where he is consulting and advising investors and entrepreneurs in discovering the best franchise to help them reach their goals and dreams. When John is not advising entrepreneurs on how to avoid the time consuming and complicated process to find the perfect franchise, you can usually find him traveling with family, playing golf, in the gym, hiking, or trying to play the guitar.

How can we help you?
Our time is yours
We’ll spend the time needed with you to understand what your goals are. Imagine buying a home or even a car without first stepping back to decide what you need and what your investment range should be? You owe it to yourself and your family to start your search with some guidelines in place–that is where we can help.
Business Matchmaking
After we understand what your personal and professional goals are, we’ll begin contacting franchisors on your behalf. You’ll never have to visit websites, request information and then wait around to see if a franchise is potentially the right fit–we’ll do all of that for you.
Personal Recommendations
We’ll show you franchises that you’d probably never even consider on your own. Yes, that is something that an experienced franchise professional, with a deeper understanding of the opportunities in today’s marketplace, will regularly do for their clients. If you love coffee, you’ll probably gravitate to a looking at coffee franchises, even though owning a coffee franchise has very little to do with loving coffee. You owe it to yourself to understand what franchise models best align with your existing skills and we’ll help get that picture into focus.
Funding
If you need financing, we can refer you to 3rd party lenders who specialize in financing franchises. All too often someone’s life’s dream of franchise ownership is squashed by their local bank’s loan officer who many have little or no experience in lending to potential franchisees.
