Jason Rutledge

Hi, I'm Jason Rutledge. With over 22 years of experience in franchising and business development, I am passionate about helping individuals like you become successful franchisees. Having owned and managed multiple multi-unit franchises, with over 120 doors, I fully understand the challenges and rewards of the franchise journey. My entrepreneurial roots began at 16 with a music education business, and I’ve spent my career helping others navigate the franchise landscape and build thriving businesses. I specialize in guiding new franchisees through every step of the process – from selecting the right franchise opportunity to reducing your risk. Whether you’re new to business ownership, an experienced empire builder, or part of a private equity group, I’m here to provide the expertise and support you need to achieve long-term success and reach your financial goals. Let’s turn your franchise dreams into reality and find the right opportunity so you can live life on your own terms.

“I started my franchise journey by sending an email to inquire about a business I was interested in investing in. I was fortunate enough to have been connected to Jason Rutledge at Franchise Sidekick. Jason took the time to speak to me and my family and really figure out what we were trying to accomplish. He matched us up with several great options, walked us through each process and gave us amazing and important advice. Thanks to him, we’re on our first franchise journey, and we’ll be forever grateful for his help.”
