Finding the right franchise fit can be a daunting task for entrepreneurs seeking new opportunities. FranChoice consultant Chris Mesker brings over 15 years of expertise in franchising and small business, making him an ideal guide in the franchise search process. With experience as a small business owner, franchisee, and corporate leader within franchise organizations, Chris is well-equipped to help entrepreneurs make informed decisions.

Chris began his entrepreneurial journey with an investment advisory firm that managed over $40 million in assets before its sale in the late 90s. This set him on a new adventure, leading him to own a franchise in real estate services. Having personally gone through the franchise buying process, Chris understands the critical importance of finding the right fit when selecting a franchise.
After exiting his franchise, Chris joined three different franchise systems, where he became a lead franchise developer, guiding individuals through the investigative process of understanding various brands. Chris often speaks about the “culture, fit, and feel” of a company, emphasizing that corporate culture is a crucial component of any franchise search.

Chris’s approach to life and business was shaped by a life-changing battle with cancer at age 26. Following his remission in 1993, he committed to a career he loved, saying, “I would rather be broke and happy than have to go to a job every day that I dislike.” Today, Chris is grateful for the opportunity to help others pursue their dreams. Happily married with three adult children, he enjoys growing food, fishing, hiking, biking, boating, and reading. Reach out to Chris at 916-628-3850 or CMesker@FranChoice.com.
