The Oval Ownership Pathway (OOP) is the definitive, forensically guided ownership framework for executives in transition. We bridge the gap between corporate leadership and private ownership through a co-invested model — leveraging FranMerica™ for franchise placements and BizQuisition™ for proven business acquisitions. A division of Oval Business Group.

LHH. Challenger. Right Management. Valuable for entry-level transitions — but for your senior directors and VPs with $300K–$1M in 401(k) assets and 20 years of leadership experience, another W-2 is the wrong answer to a question they've been deferring for years.
The Oval Ownership Pathway gives your departing professionals two concrete paths: build a new franchise through FranMerica™, or acquire a proven cash-flowing business through BizQuisition™. Both are guided by the FRANOMICS® Forensic Standard and backed by personal co-investment from Oval Equity Partners.
Every OOP participant moves through a structured, milestone-driven process from separation paperwork to signed ownership agreement — guided by the FRANOMICS® Methodology at every step.
30-minute diagnostic. Capital position mapped — 401k, severance, equity. Income replacement target set. Franchise vs. acquisition decision made. FRANOMICS® owner profile created.
LoansBloom maps ROBS, SBA 7(a), or hybrid financing. FRANOMICS Match™ generates 3–5 aligned brand or acquisition candidates. Forensic Report™ process begins on each shortlisted option.
Full FRANOMICS Forensic Report™ delivered. FRANOMICS Score™ assigned. FDD Item 19 review. Franchisee validation calls. P&L audits for acquisitions. Territory heat map. Spouse/partner briefing included.
Discovery Day prep, LLC setup, Oval Realty site selection, SBA submission, and OEP application for qualifying candidates. Agreement signed. 5-Year Exit Blueprint delivered at closing.
Every tier is powered by the FRANOMICS® Forensic Standard. The difference is depth of engagement, access to Jewan directly, and eligibility for OEP co-investment. Employer codes unlock 10% off any tier.
A single annual access fee activates OOP for your entire workforce — unlimited individual referrals at the Standard level, a company discount code for 10% off any paid tier, and quarterly HR reporting. Enterprise bulk packages are available and discussed during a private briefing.
For executives who want proven cash flow — not a startup. BizQuisition™ searches the market for an existing business matching your capital, lifestyle, and territory. Any size considered. Our fee protects your time and ours.
The $7,500 retainer is credited in full at closing — not an additional charge. In many deals, OBG negotiates with the seller to absorb the finder fee, resulting in zero net cost to the buyer.
Every brand and acquisition we recommend passes the 15-point FRANOMICS® Forensic Scorecard. Six dimensions are visible below — full criteria and scoring available to enrolled clients.

Traditional outplacement serves a real purpose. OOP fills the gap they cannot. Feature by feature.

At Oval Business Group, social impact is woven into our process. When an Outplacement (OOP) participant successfully launches a business, OBG makes a charitable donation in your organization’s name to the Global Kinship Festival. This internationally growing movement, founded by Jewan Tiwari in Haymarket, Virginia, is inspired by Nepal’s 5,000-year-old Kukur Tihar tradition of gratitude. To sustain this mission: Direct Impact: OBG donates 2.5% of every placement fee. Amplified Impact: We provide a 1:1 match on sponsor company contributions, up to a total of 5%.
Jewan Tiwari, also known as Jack, is the Founder and Managing Principal of Oval Business Group — a multi-vertical advisory holding company operating five integrated divisions across franchise consulting, M&A brokerage, SBA lending, commercial real estate, and private equity co-investment, based in Northern Virginia. He has been building businesses in the DMV since 2007 and has advised, placed, and co-invested alongside professionals transitioning from W-2 employment into business ownership.
"I will not recommend a business I wouldn't personally invest in myself — and through Oval Equity Partners, our family investment office, we put our own capital in the deals we believe in most. That is the only standard I know how to operate to."
— JEWAN TIWARI
Through Oval Equity Partners, Jewan takes a passive equity stake in select deals — personally co-investing alongside OOP clients. Through BizQuisition™, he is pre-contracted as exit broker from Day 1. He is the author of the forthcoming FRANOMICS® Trilogy and the founder of the Global Kinship Festival, inspired by the 5,000-year-old Kukur Tihar tradition of Nepal.
The Oval Ownership Pathway is not a staffing firm with a franchise referral bolted on. It is a principal-led, equity-aligned, fully integrated business ownership advisory — built to serve the caliber of professionals your organization is transitioning.
FRANOMICS® is not just our methodology — it's a forthcoming trilogy that codifies how corporate professionals evaluate, acquire, and exit franchise businesses with the discipline of a private equity investor.
FRANOMICS: The Buyer is Book 1 of the FRANOMICS® Trilogy — the franchise buyer's professional guide. Written for corporate professionals and first-generation entrepreneurs, it covers the forensic framework behind every OOP recommendation: how to evaluate a franchise like a private equity investor, how to use retirement assets as debt-free startup capital via ROBS, and how to build a business designed to sell from Day 1.
Every OOP participant who purchases a copy receives a proven intellectual framework that makes them a more confident, better-prepared decision-maker. Bulk orders are available for HR teams including the book as part of separation packages.
A 20-minute briefing is all it takes. Free. No pressure. Just clarity on whether OOP belongs in your outplacement program.
