UK Business Mentoring - Business Guidance Franchise

THE UK BUSINESS MENTORING FORMULA

There are 5.5 million businesses within the UK, and an estimated 75% are in ‘survival or existence’ mode. The upshot of this is that the mentoring market is vast, and no matter what the state of the economy is, there is a need for first-class business support.

UK Business Mentoring (UKBM) is a brand with a reputation built over almost 15 years. In that time, we’ve developed an approach that puts the client at the centre of all we do while ensuring every franchisee has the training, support, and mentoring they need.

Our market-leading USP is structured around no client contracts, no minimum engagement periods, and a moneyback guarantee. Every client can trust us to deliver nothing but high-quality help and guidance as and when they need it.

We have also developed our own online client portal enabling business owners to manage and monitor their performance and improvement. Combine this with our ‘Business Review Model,’ and our ‘always adding value approach to mentoring’ you can see why UKBM stands out as a leader in the field of business support.

At UKBM, we’re not only here to succeed in business but also to make a real contribution to our communities, supporting charities and sending the elevator back down for those starting out.

Our Business Mentors provide business owners with support, training, guidance and coaching. We help them overcome the barriers constraining performance, improving profitability and giving the owners enhanced work-life balance and better choices.

As a UKBM franchisee, you will become a crucial part of your local business community. As well as being paid for mentoring services, we encourage our team to support other small businesses and organisations with training and presentations to ‘give something back’.

FRANCHISEE REQUIREMENTS

A franchisee must have a good deal of business experience already under their belt, whether gained in running a business, corporate life or similar.

We look for individuals who share our values and get immense satisfaction from helping others attain success.

A franchisee must be a self-starter, energetic, determined, and possess a positive outlook on life.

Good rapport-building and communication skills are essential.

Franchisees work from home and initially will spend a lot of time building their network/contacts and marketing themselves both digitally and in face-to-face meetings.

Once established, you will mentor your clients mostly face-to-face at the client’s premises or sometimes via Teams/Zoom. Depending on the client’s needs, mentoring sessions can last anywhere from sixty minutes to four hours (or longer). A typical week may include 5/6 customer meetings, the required preparation, and follow-up work.

As you develop your portfolio, you’ll spend less time marketing as our client retention is solid – in fact, it’s industry-leading.

SUPPORT & TRAINING

Franchisees receive a week’s full training (covering our processes/business review model/mentoring skills, etc.) split into three days of initial training, a further single day after one month and then a full day’s training bespoke to your individual requirements.

Each franchisee has the benefit of their own mentor from the team to support them in the first year, as well as being supported by the MD and founder on a regular basis. The company has a wealth of training materials and presentations to which the franchisee has access.

To back all this up, we have a comprehensive library of presentation and training materials available.

Most important is that our franchise is designed so that YOU set your income target, and we help and support you to achieve it!
