Business coaching · Coaching & mentorship
Business coaching for small business owners and founders.
Someone in your corner.
Every leader needs a coach, a mentor and an accountability partner, including the one running the company. We match you with the right coach from our team and our wider network, depending on what you need help with.

What coaching helps with
Better decisions, and the discipline to follow through.
Sharper decisions
A sounding board for the calls only you can make, so they get made sooner and with fewer regrets.
Follow-through
Someone who asks every week what you said you’d do, and whether it got done.
Getting past a plateau
An outside view of what’s really holding the business back when growth stalls.
Leading a growing team
Delegating, hiring, and handing over the jobs you’ve outgrown.
Who coaches you
The right coach, not just the one we have.
ActUpon is run by its founder, with consultants and coaches in our team and network who’ve worked across every kind of industry and client, from companies on the stock market to the operator around the corner.
So we don’t hand you whoever happens to be free. We start with what you need help with, then match you with the person best placed to help.
How it works
Three steps to the right coach.
A first conversation
Where the business is, where you are, and what’s stuck.
The right match
We pick the coach from our team or network who fits what you need.
Regular sessions
A steady rhythm of sessions, with accountability in between.
Coaching and mentoring run on a normal retainer or by the hour. Want fees tied to a number instead? Pair coaching with paid-on-results consulting.
Coaching or consulting?
Or both.
A coach helps you do it yourself. A consultant does it with you. We do both, and many clients combine them: coaching for the person running the company, and a performance engagement on the number that matters most.
Questions
Frequently asked
What does a business coach do?
Helps you make better decisions, hold yourself to what you said you’d do, and work on the business rather than only in it. The coach doesn’t run your company; you do.
Who will my coach be?
It depends on what you need. After a first conversation we match you with the right person from our own team or our network.
How is coaching paid?
On a normal retainer or by the hour, agreed up front.
How much does business coaching cost?
It depends on the coach, how often you meet and for how long. Our guide to executive coaching costs sets out market rates.
Is it only for small businesses?
No. We coach founders and executives at companies of any size, in any sector.
Can coaching be paid on results?
Coaching itself is paid normally. If you want fees tied to a number, combine it with a performance engagement.
