Gwyn O’Kane, originally from New Zealand and known by many as “Kiwi,” brings extensive experience in business brokerage, franchise development, franchise resales, and business consulting to CFBB. As the owner of FranDecision.com, Gwyn has spent years advising entrepreneurs, franchise brands, and business owners through the process of buying, selling, and growing businesses. He has helped emerging franchise systems refine their development strategies while guiding qualified buyers toward business and franchise opportunities that align with their skills, goals, and financial objectives. Throughout his career, Gwyn has worked with business owners at every stage of the business lifecycle—from startup and expansion to succession planning and successful exits. His background in franchise operations, business sales, and strategic growth provides him with a unique perspective on business valuations, buyer qualification, and transaction management. He understands that buying or selling a business is often one of the most significant financial and personal decisions an entrepreneur will make, and he is committed to guiding clients through the process with integrity, professionalism, and practical advice. A proud 28-year resident of Florida's Space Coast, Gwyn and his wife, Annie, raised their two daughters in Brevard County and now enjoy life as grandparents. He remains a firm believer that the United States is still the land of opportunity, where entrepreneurship creates financial independence, strengthens communities, and drives economic growth.

I bring over 35 years of management and ownership experience in business to Central Florida Business Brokerage. For buyers I target specific opportunities that match up to your previous business experience, skills, desires, and expectations. I add value to the purchasing side of the transaction by making sure the overall sales process and timeframe stay on target in order to have a smooth transition to the new ownership. For sellers, I assist in determining the value of your business, establish a selling price, identify prospective buyers, facilitate negotiations, and lead all involved to a smooth closing. This will allow the present business owner time to concentrate on the operation of their business during the selling process. I work as a team with attorneys, CPA’s, Banker’s, and other professionals to provide a full range of services to my client’s.
