ActionCOACH Franchise

ActionCOACH currently has 160 business coaching franchisees, operating in the UK and Ireland, and are aiming to almost double this over the next 12 to 18 months.  

“There are approximately 4 million SMEs in Britain, therefore the demand for business coaching is expected to enjoy a massive growth in popularity.”

So says ActionCOACH, the world’s largest business coaching organisation.

Indeed, ActionCOACH is so buoyant about the future that it is looking to expand the number of its business coaching franchisees operating in the UK and Ireland from 160 to around 320 in the next 12 to 18 months.

According to the company: "One of the key factors behind the surge in demand for coaching has been the success with which it has helped transform the lives and fortunes of many business owners, as evidenced by literally hundreds of case histories".

“However, another important factor has been the quality of business coaches we are attracting. Apart from the high earning potential, what makes business coaching particularly appealing is that, unlike many other franchises, business coaching has relatively low overheads and can be operated from home".

It also offers an unprecedented level of flexibility. As a result, ActionCOACH tends to attract franchisees who have a strong commercial background, for example in sales and marketing, logistics, IT, etc, and are looking for something that will enable them to use their skills to best effect.

Alan Brighton (AB Business Coaching Ltd. - ActionCoach Business Coach) states that: “The support from Action for a new coach is just tremendous. Between the Team Captain, Accountability Coach, the coaches academy, the 'Kick-start Programme, the regional team, the internet forums, conference call learning, and just general help whenever you ask for it from other coaches, there is as much help on almost any subject as you could possibly want.

In terms of getting your business off the ground it's up to you how fast you want to go. The sales training and support systems are extensive, and if you follow the ActionCOACH systems your success is just a measure of the work you put in. The Action sales systems are extremely well thought out and they work. The material for teaching clients and their teams are just awesome in the scale of what is available and how well it is put together.

If there is a better business teaching information base in the world I would love to see it. Clients and prospective clients just lap up the material. It's a joy to teach.”
