Its early success demonstrated that the model could work globally, leading to rapid international expansion. ActionCOACH launched in the UK in 2001 and, over more than two decades, has grown from a single territory to over 200 coaches nationwide. Today, the brand operates in 85 countries with more than 1,000 coaches, making it the world’s largest business coaching franchise. Franchise partners and their teams receive comprehensive training and ongoing global, national, and local support, alongside access to more than 3,500 proven strategies and tactics. Each partner builds a business coaching firmwithin an exclusive territory, working directly with business owners to increase profits, implement robust systems, and develop strong, high-performing teams. The results extend beyond financial success, with clients achieving more sustainable businesses and improved quality of life. The impact of ActionCOACH was highlighted in an Amazon Prime Video series that followed eight businesses supported during the pandemic, all of which emerged stronger. Support begins with 10 days at ActionCOACH University, followed by hands-on assistance at the Coach Training Centre. Partners are supported in acquiring clients through a targeted mail campaign to 125 business owners, and the franchise funds and delivers each partner’s launch seminar. Partners are guaranteed to reach a six-figure monthly client income by month seven, supported by over 40 days of annual training, daily webinars, and one-to-one coaching from their own dedicated business coach.
