Not every business needs a coach right now. Some need a system. Some need a hire. Some need to slow down before they speed up. Answer five honest questions and we'll tell you where you actually stand — no sales pitch attached.
We don't follow a script. But every engagement passes through these phases — adapted to your pace, your industry, and your ambition.
A candid 90-minute session where we map your current reality: revenue architecture, leadership dynamics, operational bottlenecks, and strategic clarity. No preparation required — just honesty.
We build a decision framework together. What to pursue, what to shelve, what to delegate. This alone has transformed several client businesses before any coaching formally begins.
Fortnightly structured sessions with accountability checkpoints. We work on real decisions — pricing, hiring, market positioning, partnership terms — not abstract theory.
At the 90-day mark, we reassess. Some clients accelerate. Some pivot. Some graduate. The coaching adapts to what's actually happening, not what we predicted.
We don't sell tiers. We match the engagement to your actual circumstances. Here's how different situations map to different coaching modes.
| Your Situation | What You Likely Need | Engagement Shape | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue plateau — can't break past a ceiling | Revenue architecture review + pricing strategy | Intensive sprint: weekly sessions | 6–8 weeks |
| Leadership team misalignment | Decision framework + facilitated alignment sessions | Team coaching: fortnightly with leadership group | 3–4 months |
| Founder overwhelm — doing everything | Delegation architecture + role clarity mapping | 1-on-1 coaching: fortnightly | 3 months |
| Preparing for investment or acquisition | Strategic narrative + operational readiness | Advisory retainer: monthly deep sessions | 4–6 months |
| New market entry or pivot | Market validation framework + go-to-market coaching | Intensive sprint: weekly sessions | 8–10 weeks |
| Post-growth chaos — scaling too fast | Operational stabilisation + systems thinking | Embedded advisory: weekly + async support | 3–5 months |
The business coaching industry has a credibility problem. Too many practitioners sell inspiration without implementation. They run workshops that feel productive but change nothing. They offer frameworks borrowed from contexts that don't match yours.
At Propel Biz Guidance, we start from a different premise: coaching should be indistinguishable from high-quality advisory work. Every session ends with a decision made, a priority clarified, or a bottleneck dismantled. If a session doesn't move the needle, we restructure the engagement.
We work primarily with founder-led businesses between £500K and £15M in revenue. Not because smaller or larger businesses don't deserve coaching, but because that's the range where our methods produce the most dramatic, measurable results.
Coaching works best when the timing is right. These are the patterns we've seen in clients who get the most from the engagement.
The business depends on you for too many decisions. You know delegation is the answer but haven't built the architecture for it.
You're busier than ever but profitability hasn't kept pace. The pricing model or cost structure needs strategic rethinking.
Good people pulling in different directions. Meetings generate heat but not light. Strategic clarity is missing at the leadership layer.
Acquisition, market exit, major hire, product pivot. The stakes are high and you need a thinking partner, not a cheerleader.
No commitment, no pitch deck. Tell us what you're working through and we'll respond within one business day with an honest assessment of whether coaching is the right move.
Consultants typically diagnose and prescribe. We do some of that, but the core of our work is building your capacity to make better decisions independently. We're not here to create dependency — we're here to make ourselves unnecessary.
Engagements typically range from £2,800 to £9,500 depending on duration, intensity, and whether we're working with an individual or a team. We'll give you an exact figure after the diagnostic conversation — never before we understand what you actually need.
Yes. About half our clients are elsewhere in the UK, and we occasionally work with founders in Ireland and mainland Europe. All sessions can be conducted remotely without any loss of quality.
We'll tell you. Honestly. The diagnostic conversation is designed to surface whether coaching is the right intervention. Sometimes the answer is a fractional COO, a better accountant, or simply more sleep. We refer out when that's the case.
Most clients report a noticeable shift in decision-making clarity within the first three sessions. Measurable business outcomes — revenue changes, team performance, operational efficiency — typically emerge between weeks six and twelve.
