A global leader in franchising in peer advisory boards and executive coaching for business owners, TAB has supported thousands of business owners across the country, providing them with a trusted community of peers, strategic insights and business coaching. Now it is celebrating 15 years of existence.
TAB’s peer advisory boards bring together business owners and leaders to share insights and offer guidance in a confidential, collaborative environment. Business ownership can be a very lonely place and TAB’s proven model has helped businesses improve performance and overcome challenges, making it a valuable resource for entrepreneurs looking to run better businesses.
As MD, Ed Reid put it: “When I became a franchisee with The Alternative Board in 2009, I quickly recognised its unique proposition in offering business owners the chance to collaborate, share leadership experiences, and gain support from peers, all under the guidance of franchisees with strong business backgrounds.
“When the opportunity arose eight years later to transition from franchisee to UK franchisor in partnership with Mags Fuller, it was an irresistible next step. My prior experience as a franchisee made the transition smoother, as I already understood the unique challenges our franchisees face. Today, The Alternative Board continues to transform good business owners into exceptional leaders, and businesses across the UK are stronger as a result.”
TAB’s continued success is reflected not just in its expanding network, but in the change in approach to leadership within the SME community.
Franchise owners have seen first-hand how TAB has supported communities of entrepreneurs to grow, scale, and become better leaders. In a recent TAB member survey 100 percent of respondents who had noticed an improvement in their leadership skills and in the way they address people issues, attributed that to being involved in TAB.
“The impact of TAB cannot be overstated,” commented Mags Fuller, Co-owner and Financial Director of TAB. “We’ve helped business owners make smarter, faster decisions, build their brands and develop trusted, lasting relationships with members and their TAB peers.”
TAB’s journey in the UK is far from over, though. Indeed, with more business owners seeking peer-led solutions, the demand for the franchise’s services continues to rise. Moreover, its franchise model allows aspiring franchisees to become a part of this powerful movement, supporting business owners within their local communities while growing their own businesses in the process.
TAB works with hundreds of SME members across the UK and has a global network spanning 24 countries. TAB members meet monthly to share their business challenges and provide each other with practical, real-world advice.
