What can IBC Coaches bring to your new business venture and what value can be added to help you start right and achieve your goals?

■ A business coach is someone who support the business owner, as they navigate through the steps and challenges on their journey to be established. It is not a one meeting relationship, which is why our fees are not hourly base.
■ It is about working with you, the business owner, to take your ideas and business from where it is now to where you want it to be.
■ We see ourselves as your partner in this journey, not just as a sounding board but also making available access to the network of expertise we have.
■ The focus starts with the here and now, not what could have been. We help you to identify and set your desired goals and agree the most effective strategy on how to realise it.
■ Our role is to give you a different/fresh perspective, getting you to see the whole forest and not just the trees in front of you.
