Plan, Grow and Support your Business

In your coaching sessions, your local TAB (UK) Facilitator will help you determine how to plan, grow and support your business through training, feedback, and achievement. They will concentrate on everything from improving your cash flow to sorting out your HR. Unlike a business consultant, a TAB business coach doesn’t stop there to support entrepreneurs.

We will also support you, the business owner, with your personal development and what you want out of life.

Enquire about TAB Membership

“My TAB facilitator and business coach, really holds me to account for delivering my business plan throughout the year and challenges my thinking across a wide range of business activities. I have learnt a lot, in fact more than I thought possible, and would recommend TAB to any business owner that has become a bit complacent and inward looking and wants to be challenged in an honest and caring way.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I Need Business Coaching?

There are many reasons how and why entrepreneurs choose business coaches. While each business is on a unique journey, there are some common problems that many people face on the road to business success. A business coach will utilise their own years of experience in business to help target these issues and get businesses’ past them. A coaching program can help you identify the areas where you need to make changes to expand your business and to stay ahead of the competition. Find out more about what a business coach does and the benefits coaching can bring to your business.

Plus, we meet many business owners who have lost the passion they once had for their business. But business support does help people fall back in love with business.

What Is The Difference Between a Business Coach and Mentor?

The business coaching process is based on training, feedback, and achievement. It can be used to meet a focused business need. Business mentoring tends to be about personal development, although the skills learned may have a positive impact on professional circumstances as well.

At TAB, we can do both.

How Do I Find the Right Coach to Hire?

Often the qualities that people value in a small business coach include insight, life coaching skills, character and areas of expertise, experience and trust. It is important that you find the right business coach for you. It might be helpful for you to read our white paper on hiring a business coach. However, when you chat with potential coaches you could ask them questions like:

– What are the biggest challenges you’ve helped client solve?
– What do you do best? What don’t you do so well?
– Where have you failed and how did you handle it?

How do I find my local TAB Business Coach?

It’s easy to find your local TAB coach, just visit our local coaches page, enter your postcode and get in touch with them. They’ll be happy to answer any more specific questions about TAB and how we can help your business.

How Often Do I Meet with my TAB Business Coach?

Once a month.

What Happens During the Monthly Business Coaching Call?

Your monthly coaching call with your TAB Business Coach focuses on commitments you made at the last board meeting, a 90-day goal that you set and commit to with your coach and building the strategic foundations of your business using TAB’s Business Builder’s Toolkit. They are designed to provide ongoing support, where you can ask for further guidance and resources to achieve your goals and objectives. The call will adjust to your pressing needs, issues or challenges that you want to discuss with your coach.

What Does a Business Coach Do?

At the top-level, a business coach provides business owners with a fresh perspective towards the challenges and opportunities they face in their business. They provide real solution and help to develop realistic business plans. Most often, this is delivered through one-to-one coaching sessions.
At TAB, we combine the power of coaching with our peer advisory boards where you also get invaluable business advice from other business owners like you.

Why is Business Coaching Important?

Being a business owner can be very lonely. An experienced mentor from outside the business can be the most valuable resource available. A coach helps business leaders in making sometimes the most difficult decisions in order to grow a hugely successful business. It offers personalised impartial advice for every business challenge and opportunity.

What is the Difference Between a Business Coach and a Business Mentor?

There is a small difference between a coach and mentor. A coach tends to help owners determine how to grow their business through training and feedback. Whereas a mentor focusses more on the business owner as a person – their life and personal goals. At TAB, mentoring is where we start. We look at what you, the business owner, wants out of life and then coach you to make sure you achieve that personal vision of success.
