Gwyn O'Kane

Gwyn O'Kane, originally from New Zealand and known by many as "Kiwi," brings a strong background in franchise development, franchise resales and business consulting. As the owner of FranDecision.com, Gwyn has spent years helping emerging franchise brands refine their development strategies, while guiding qualified candidates toward franchise opportunities that align with their skills, goals and financial expectations.

In 2025, Gwyn expanded his professional focus by earning his business broker license and joining the Central Florida Business Brokerage. This move reflects two key goals: becoming more engaged in his local community and playing a greater role in business resales — both franchise and independent.

With hands-on experience in business sales, operations and system growth, Gwyn understands the complexity and emotions involved in buying and selling a business. A proud 28-year resident of the 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 can change lives, strengthen communities and fuel economic growth.
