💼 Build a £1M+ Business While Changing Lives in Your Local Community
ActionCOACH is the world’s number one business coaching franchise, offering a unique opportunity to transform both your own life and the lives of countless business owners in your community. With a globally proven model, world-class training, and a powerful support network, ActionCOACH is perfect for driven individuals ready to build a meaningful, profitable business that makes a real difference.
Because Being in Business Should Give You More Life…
Most small business owners start their ventures because they’re experts in a specific field – whether it’s PR, IT, hospitality, or construction. But running a successful company takes much more than subject knowledge. It demands skills in finance, marketing, systems, and leadership. That’s where ActionCOACH steps in.
As a business coaching franchise, ActionCOACH helps these owners unlock their full potential. With over 3,500 strategies and tactics to draw on, you’ll help your clients generate more profit, create stronger teams, and build a business that works for them – not the other way around.
Make a Life-Changing Difference
ActionCOACH isn’t just about business improvement – it’s about personal transformation. In a recent survey of over 800 clients, 97% said they would recommend ActionCOACH, and 97% said the service made a positive difference to their business.
Your role as an ActionCOACH franchise partner is to guide local business owners through strategic growth, helping them:
- Increase profitability
- Systemise their operations
- Build effective, motivated teams
- Reduce stress and improve work-life balance
This is an opportunity to create real change in your community while earning a substantial income.
Who Makes a Great ActionCOACH Franchisee?
You don’t need a background in coaching or business consulting. In fact, ActionCOACH franchise partners come from a wide range of professional fields – what they share is a passion for learning and helping others succeed.
The ideal franchisee will have:
- A proven track record of success in their field
- A desire to keep growing personally and professionally
- The motivation to help business owners thrive
- Excellent people skills and business acumen
If this sounds like you, and you’re ready to join a purpose-driven community, ActionCOACH could be the perfect fit.
An Investment That Pays Off
For a £29,000 investment (which includes the franchise licence and training fee), you’ll be awarded an exclusive territory containing 10,000 businesses. You’ll also need a personal contribution of at least £18,000. The full investment is £59,000 (inclusive of £30,000 working capital), with up to 70% finance available.
This investment gives you access to:
- A proven business model with pandemic and recession resilience
- Your own designated business territory
- Access to the full suite of 3,500+ ActionCOACH systems and tactics
- The ability to build a business that generates £1M+ annual revenues
- Outstanding profit margins and strong asset value
Monthly royalties are set at £1,950 + VAT or 10% of your bankings (whichever is greater), plus 5% of your revenues into a capped marketing fund (£500 max per month). With one weekly client typically generating £2,000 in monthly fees, the returns are compelling.
Guaranteed Support Every Step of the Way
From your very first day, you’ll be backed by a best-in-class training and support system designed to fast-track your success. You’ll receive:
- A 10-day intensive training at ActionCOACH University
- A follow-up Step-Up Week to get your business off the ground
- Hands-on support at your first seminar to land initial clients
- One-to-one guidance from your own Coaches’ Coach
