ActionCOACH Franchise Investment
Providing a clear and comprehensive guide on how much you'll need to invest to successfully run an ActionCOACH UK franchise
The initial cost of buying an ActionCOACH franchise
When making any business decision, we understand it's important for you to consider all the costs involved as well as the potential return. We’re going to walk you through the costs of becoming an ActionCOACH franchise partner including factors that can fluctuate the cost involved and also how quickly you will see a return.
There will be a ‘buying in’ cost whichever franchise you're looking at. This varies between different franchises, but you can expect to pay anywhere between £10K-£100K for the opportunity. While this may seem like a hefty price tag, there are varying returns that you will get, and this should help you determine the price point you are willing to pay.
The initial investment for an ActionCOACH business coaching franchise in the UK starts at £29k. This secures you a territory made up of 10,000 businesses you can work with. As you will only work with the businesses in your territory, there is no internal competition for work, and this helps to foster an incredibly supportive community.

Ongoing cost of owning an ActionCOACH franchise
In addition to initial investment for ActionPRACTICE and ActionFIRM, we also recommend you come into the business with around £30,000 working capital. As with any franchise business, there is an ongoing royalty, the royalty doesn't start until month seven and the royalty pays for your ongoing support, training and use of the IP and systems.
The ActionCOACH royalty varies based on the type of licence. To put your return into perspective one weekly coaching client will typically pay you £2,000 a month.
3 key additional areas to consider:
Office space & equipment:
For optimal work-life balance and the opportunity to hold face-to-face meetings and foster team collaboration, we highly advise considering the rental of an office space.
Marketing to win business:
ActionCOACH recommends a budget of up to £2K per client. Franchise partners also get access to marketing materials and support from the central team to help lower costs.
Investing in your team:
You should always hire someone better than you. When you start building your team, ensuring you have the right salary bracket for the skills and experience you are looking for is key.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ActionCOACH Marketing Fund?
A portion of your revenues, amounting to 5% and capped at £500 per month, is allocated to a dynamic marketing fund. This fund is designed to provide ongoing support from a team of dedicated professionals. Within this team, you will have access to a skilled marketing director, a proficient video editor, a creative motion graphic designer, and a knowledgeable digital executive. Additionally, we invest in third-party companies that specialise in PR and marketing, ensuring comprehensive support for your business.
How much working capital will I need?
In addition to the initial £29K, we also recommend that you come into the business with around £30K working capital.
I can't afford this franchise, are there other options for me?
Yes, there are multiple routes into franchising. These alternative routes we offer will still get you to a point in which you can own your own franchise, it may just take a little longer as you build your profits and are able to invest more.
When will I see a return on my investment?
Firstly, we guarantee that if you follow our UK sales process and get yourself in front of a set amount of qualified prospects a month for your first 6 months, you will bank more than £10,000 gross monthly income within your first 7 months of training with us.
You'll also see in your business plan a goal of achieving £1M income from your franchise business.
At this point, if you're interested in the franchise opportunity, we'd recommend you speak with one of our advisors and attend a discovery day where you'll get into the details. You'll see the tools and the systems, you'll get to hear more about the return on investment, the training, the support and also get to hear from existing franchise owners as well.
Build your franchise with confidence
At ActionCOACH, we understand it's essential that you achieve real results for you and your business. That's why we guarantee, in writing, if we award you an ActionCOACH licence, if you invest sufficient time and money to get yourself in front of 6 - 10 qualified prospects a month for your first 6 months and complete every step of our proven UK sales process with each of those prospects, you will achieve a £10,000 - £14,000 gross monthly income within your first 7 months of training with us or we will refund you your franchise fee.
