Franchise Ownership Advisory
Own a business. Not another job that owns you.
Want to build something you're proud to call your own, but worried about putting your family's future at risk? I help you find, investigate and buy a franchise that fits your strengths, finances and family priorities.
Consultations and franchise advisory services are at no cost to you.
Start with the stakes
The wrong franchise can cost more than money.
You could invest your savings, work longer hours, and still come home with nothing left for the people you did it all for.
- 01The same exhausting schedule, with more at stake.
- 02Family savings committed before the business is understood.
- 03Day-to-day work that drains rather than uses your strengths.
- 04Another year of saying, 'Someday I'll own a business.'

Austin as guide
A counselor's insight. An analyst's discipline. An advocate in your corner.
You can look successful on paper and still feel trapped. Wanting more doesn't mean you're careless with your family's future. I'm Austin Olson, J.D. I take both your ambition and your responsibilities seriously.
Start with you, not a catalog.
My training in psychology and counseling helps me understand your motivations, strengths and family priorities before recommending a business.
Look past the sales pitch.
My J.D. training helps me question assumptions and turn unanswered business questions into due-diligence priorities.
Your goals and family come before closing.
If fear is keeping you stuck, we'll test it against facts. If a deal doesn't serve you, I'll say so.
What it's like to work with Austin
What it's like to work with Austin.
“Austin took the time to genuinely get to know me and my needs. Instead of just going along with every idea I had to get a quick sale, Austin challenged me every step of the way and guided me to the decision that was ultimately the best for me and my family.”
“He challenged me when needed, he encouraged me when needed, and he never pushed me to make any decisions that weren't best right now and in the long run for me and my family.”
“Austin's gift of being able to truly make sure I felt heard, seen, and understood is incredibly rare these days and a gift to everyone he works with.”
