Own a business coaching franchise in the industry you know best.
Your sector, across the whole of the UK. One fixed fee that never rises. Client conversations arranged for you. From £30,000 plus VAT.
The largest business coaching network in America. Now building in the UK.
Focal Point was founded by Brian Tracy and Steve Thompson. Thirty years of business coaching, more than 250 coaches worldwide, and the largest business coaching network in the United States. The UK is next. Focal Point coaches here are not given a territory. They are given an industry, the one they already know, anywhere in the country. The rights to most industries are still available.
Your sector, across the whole of the UK.
A territory limits you to the businesses inside a line on a map. A sector gives you every business in an industry, wherever it is. If you spent twenty years in logistics, logistics is your sector, and a haulage firm in Aberdeen and a distribution business in Plymouth are both yours to coach. We work out your sector with you from your own career, and as a Sector Principal you hold the rights to it for the whole country.
A fixed monthly fee. Not a share of what you earn.
£1,500 a month plus VAT, and it does not change. It is not a percentage of your turnover and there is no marketing levy on top. Bill £10,000 a month or £100,000, coach alone or run a team, the fee is the same. The more you earn, the more you keep.
You start with client conversations already arranged for you.
You do not start with an empty diary. Focal Point’s business development system finds the right businesses in your sector, opens the conversation and gets the appointments in your diary. Before you sign, we tell you the rate of conversations you can expect in your sector. From there it is down to you: you bring the experience, you build the relationship and you turn the conversation into a client. In the first year that is as much of the job as the coaching.
A method that does most of the work for you.
More than 200 coaching modules covering every part of running a business, each one tailored to your client’s industry so the language and the examples are theirs. You also have thirty years of Focal Point tools and resources to draw on, including its own AI, which helps you prepare for a session, run it and do the follow-up work. You are trained and certified before you see a client, and once you are certified you have a mentor of your own and the network around you. You bring the experience. The method brings the rest.
A business that is worth more every year.
Clients pay monthly and stay for years. Overheads are low, particularly when sessions are run online. If you want to grow beyond your own hours, you can build a team of coaches in your sector and earn from their work as well as your own. Every client and every coach adds to the value of a business you can sell. You are building an asset, not buying a job.
Principal or Coach?
You hold the rights to your sector across the UK, you can bring other coaches into it, and you are building a business with a team behind it.
You run your own coaching practice, with the same method, the same training and the same fixed fee, at the size that suits you.
Most people know which they are by the end of the prospectus. If not, we will work it out together.
You’ve spent a career in business. Now build one of your own.
Focal Point coaches come from senior roles in every kind of business. They have carried a profit and loss, run a team and been the person others bring their problems to. Very few had ever coached. What they had was experience, and a feeling it was worth more than another job title. If that is you, request the prospectus.
“I spent twenty-one years as a chief executive in social enterprise and twelve as a leadership coach before I took the sector for the UK. The businesses I ran put more than five thousand people into work. Now I coach the people running enterprises like them, anywhere in the country, and I am taking on coaches to work alongside me.”

“I run Focal Point in the UK, and I am the person you will meet before you decide. I will take you through the business, answer the hard questions, and be a phone call away once you are up and running. If you would like to hear how it works before you talk to anyone, I run a short online session every month, and there is always time for questions. Ask Julie for the next date when you book.”
From here to your first client.
