Unlock Your Future With Our Flexible Business Mentoring Franchise

Are you looking for a business opportunity that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle? Imagine having the freedom to choose when you work, how much you earn, and the number of clients you take on—all while helping others achieve their business goals. Welcome to our UK Business Mentoring Franchise, where you’re in control.

Work on Your Terms

Our franchise model is designed for flexibility. You decide when and how you work. Set your own schedule, choose the days and hours that suit you best, and create a work-life balance that works for you. This can be to increase or decrease over time to suit your lifestyle.

Income on Your Terms

Unlike other business opportunities or franchises, our franchise lets you set your own financial targets. Whether you’re looking for a full-time income or just a secondary income, you determine how much you want to earn. There is no limit to what you can earn nor indeed any minimum, you are in control.

Success Story
Buying a Franchise made me a better father and husband

Having worked in financial services for 30 years, Graham Ballantyne had run businesses for other people and always knew one day he would do it himelf. “I wanted to do something with purpose where I could genuinely make a difference along with something I’d enjoy. I have always loved to help people and really enjoy the cut and thrust of business so Mentoring made sense. I undertook a lot of research into various mentoring franchises as I wanted the support to make the leap – UKBM were by far and away the best I looked at, they shared my values which was key and also convinced me the support would be there which was important.”

Success Story
Buying a franchise was life changing for me - the best career decision I ever made!

Paul Clarke was delighted to find a business that allowed him to utilise the skills he had gained during a 30 year career in finance. Paul opened his UK Business Mentoring franchise in Manchester in 2017.  “I always had a desire to run my own business but wanted a framework and support mechanism to ensure success. Mentoring business owners is a priviledge and allows me to utilise all the skills and technical knowledge I have gained whilst supporting owners to achieve their full potential. UKBM were clearly the best I looked at and I did look at many.”

Success Story
Redundancy in late 50's is best thing to have happened!

UK Business Mentoring franchisee jim Gorrie talks about how redundancy pushed him into starting a new career in his late 50's. "I still remember the day, place and time I got told my services were no longer required. I remember the shock, the anger, the feeling of loss - after forty years in the corporate world (thirty-five years with one organisation and nearly five with another) I was being cast aside. On reflection I know this wasn’t the case, but I am only human, and I can still recall the irrational range of thoughts and emotions running through my head. As it turned out, it was one of the best things that has happened to me."
