John ArmstrongFranNet Franchise Consultant · serving clients nationwide

John Armstrong is the FranNet Market President for New York City. Finding the right franchise opportunity can be difficult, but the city offers even more opportunities than challenges. John helps people exploring franchise ownership through education, support, and matchmaking. He follows a consultative process. First, he educates clients on franchising and whether it's worth pursuing. Then he gets to know them, their goals, skills, and interests, to see if ownership makes sense. He meets one-on-one to discuss opportunities for their market and coaches them through due diligence. His services come at no cost. John has been with FranNet since 2008. Before that, he worked at Morgan Stanley's Global Capital Markets, in commercial paper origination and on the equity syndicate desk.
