Smith & Henderson Ratings 2013 – 2017
Ian Christelow co-founded Action Business Coaching in the UK back in 2001. The latest in a string of accolades for ActionCOACH UK came at RBS’s Best Franchise Awards where ActionCOACH became one of only four franchises to achieve 5-Star Franchisee Satisfaction Status five times (2013 to 2017). Ian accredits his UK Support Team and the Global Franchisor for the successes and shares what spurs him on to make ActionCOACH UK bigger and better:
We now have over 190 ActionCOACH Business Growth Specialists in the UK and our 2030 milestone is to grow the team to 3,600 so ActionCOACH can serve and help 36,000 UK business owners through 1-2-1 mentoring and tens of thousands more people through our group coaching programmes, executive coaching, workshops, books and digital resources. Our vision is to become the go-to-place for business growth, where every UK business owner is aware of the ‘terminal risks’ to their business and the cure.

Elite Franchise Top 10 Ranking 2018
In the Elite Franchise 100, a league table celebrating the greatest franchises the UK has to offer, ActionCOACH rose to the heights of Number 8 just one place behind SUBWAY and two places behind McDonald’s. Impressive for a franchise whose journey in the UK commenced 6 years after SUBWAY and 27 years after McDonald’s. The Elite Franchise 100 recognises the sector’s brightest businesses and ranks them according to a broad range of criteria from their financial performance and support they offer franchisees to their contribution to the community and the way they embrace innovation.
Compare The Financial Markets Best UK Business Opportunity
ActionCOACH presents unique business opportunities to suitable candidates that might include former business owners or managers and business-savvy individuals with experience in sales, marketing and finance. Yet it is the promises that ActionCOACH makes to these potential Franchise Partners that has particularly impressed Michael Angel Plaza of Compare The Financial Markets, and was a key reason for ActionCOACH receiving the Best UK Business Opportunity Award:
ActionCOACH is the only franchise company I know that will offer a written guarantee your investment is safe for the right candidates. I personally work with some of the company directors who use ActionCOACH, and indeed will be working with an Action Business Coach myself in the near future. So, when ActionCOACH says you can earn £50k a month, I know it is true, and not just hype!
