How Much Does a Business Coach Cost in 2026?
How much does a business coach cost?
It is one of the first questions most business owners ask before they book a call.
And rightly so.
Nobody wants to sit through a long sales pitch, only to find out at the end that the programme costs far more than they expected.
That is why we have always believed in being clear with our prices at Tradecoach.
We work mainly with tradespeople. That includes landscapers, builders, plumbers, electricians, roofers, joiners, decorators, driveway companies and other trade business owners.
Most of them want the same thing.
They want to get off the tools, increase profit, improve systems and build a proper business.
So, in this guide, we will explain what business coaching usually costs, what affects the price, what different coaching options include and how Tradecoach compares.
Why We Show Our Business Coaching Fees Online
From day one, we decided to show our fees online.
Why?
Because we know how frustrating it is to be forced onto a call before you are allowed to see the price.
Many business owners have had the same experience.
You find a coach, marketer, designer or consultant. You like what they offer. You book a call. You sit through a pitch. Then, right at the end, you are told the price.
Sometimes it is thousands of pounds more than you expected.
That can be deflating, especially if you really wanted the product but cannot justify the investment.
We do not believe in that approach.
You should know what you are getting into before you speak to anyone.
How Much Does a Business Coach Cost?
Business coaching costs can vary massively.
Some group coaching programmes may cost a few hundred pounds per month. A 1 to 1 business coach can cost £1,000 to £3,000 plus per month. High level masterminds can cost £10,000, £20,000 or even more.
As a rough guide:
| Type of business coaching | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Online business course | £297 to £6,000 |
| Group business coaching | £300 to £1,600 per month |
| 1 to 1 business coaching | £1,000 to £3,000 plus per month |
| Business coaching franchise | £1,200 to £2,000 plus per month |
| Mastermind programme | £5,000 to £25,000 plus |
| Done with you business programme | £6,000 to £18,000 plus |
| Done for you business support | £10,000 to £30,000 plus |
The right option depends on your business, your goals and how much support you need.
How Much Does a Business Coach Cost for Tradespeople?
A business coach for tradespeople will usually cost between £300 per month and £2,000 plus per month.
The price depends on whether you choose group coaching, online training, 1 to 1 coaching or a more hands on programme.
At Tradecoach, our pricing is designed for trade business owners who need real help but still need the investment to make sense.
Our current options include:
| Tradecoach option | Price |
|---|---|
| Try before you buy Module 1 | £617 |
| Group coaching | £356 per month |
| 1 to 1 coaching | £1,200 per month |
| Off The Tools PAYG | £6,000 or £617 per month PAYG |
| DWY Off The Tools Programme | £9,000 or £923 per month PAYG |
If you choose a monthly or PAYG option, modules are released monthly.
That means you do not get the full programme unlocked at once. The reason is simple. It helps you focus, implement and avoid jumping ahead before the foundations are in place.
Working With a Business Coaching Company
One option is to work with a larger business coaching company.
A well known example is ActionCOACH.
With this type of coaching, you are not usually working directly with the founder or CEO. You are normally allocated to a franchise owner or coach within the company.
There are benefits to this.
A larger coaching company may have systems, templates, processes and training materials ready to use. Your coach may also be able to lean on other coaches within the network for advice.
The downside is that your coach may not have experience in your specific industry.
For tradespeople, this matters.
A landscaping business, plumbing business, driveway company or building company is very different from a general office based business.
You have vans, staff, pricing issues, site problems, materials, subcontractors, customers, weather, cash flow and job overruns to deal with.
A general business coach may still help you.
However, a coach who understands trade businesses can usually get to the problem much faster.
How Much Does a Business Coaching Company Cost?
A business coaching company can often cost around £1,200 to £2,000 per month for fortnightly 1 to 1 coaching calls.
I know this because I used an ActionCOACH myself.
My own ActionCOACH was based in Glasgow and cost me around £1,350 per month for fortnightly coaching calls on Zoom.
It was a good investment.
That experience helped shape Tradecoach. I saw what worked, what did not work and what tradespeople needed most, in the end he wasn’t specific enough for me but he still made me money.
Group Business Coaching
Group business coaching can be a great introduction to coaching.
It puts you in a room with other business owners who are usually facing similar problems.
This can work well because you see what others are doing. You hear their wins, mistakes and lessons. You also get a bit of healthy competition.
In my own experience, I was always chasing the next person ahead of me.
That made it fun.
Group coaching can work very well, but it does usually take longer than 1 to 1 coaching. This is because the content is often delivered one topic at a time.
If the topic is relevant to you that week, great.
If it is not, you may need to store the information and come back to it later.
How Much Does Group Business Coaching Cost?
A good group coaching programme can cost anywhere from £300 to £1,600 per month.
Some mastermind groups can cost £10,000 plus.
I was once part of a landscaping business coaching group that cost around £1,300 per month.
Again, it was a good investment.
At Tradecoach, our group coaching option is currently £356 per month.
That makes it a more affordable way for tradespeople to access coaching, support and accountability.
1 to 1 Business Coaching
1 to 1 business coaching is usually the most personal type of coaching.
It is normally delivered monthly or fortnightly by Zoom.
In the past, coaching may have been done in person. However, Zoom is now often better. You can share screens, look at numbers, review systems and work through problems quickly.
A typical 1 to 1 coaching call will normally include:
- A catch up on what has happened in the business
- A review of tasks from the last call
- A discussion about current problems
- Coaching around the next priority
- Clear tasks before the next call
On the first call, you will normally agree your goals and create a plan.
That plan should guide the future calls.
Some coaches allow support between calls. Others do not.
At Tradecoach, the goal is to keep the advice practical, direct and relevant to your trade business.
How Much Does 1 to 1 Business Coaching Cost?
A 1 to 1 business coach will often cost from £1,500 per month upwards.
Some coaches charge several thousand pounds per month.
At Tradecoach, 1 to 1 coaching is currently £1,200 per month.
This gives you direct support, not generic advice.
It is designed for trade business owners who want accountability, direction and help making better decisions inside the business.
Why Tradecoach Is Different
Tradecoach was built specifically for tradespeople.
That includes landscapers, driveway companies, builders, plumbers, electricians, roofers, joiners, tilers, plasterers, decorators and other trade business owners.
Most of our clients are not looking for theory.
They want practical help with things like:
- Getting off the tools
- Increasing profit
- Pricing jobs properly
- Improving lead quality
- Building systems
- Hiring staff
- Managing jobs
- Improving sales
- Reducing stress
- Creating a business that works without them doing everything
I built and ran my own trade business, so I understand the problems.
I know what it feels like to work long hours, chase quotes, deal with difficult jobs, manage staff, handle customers and still try to make a profit.
That is why Tradecoach is built around real trade business problems.
Our Business Coaching Packages at Tradecoach
We now have several options depending on where you are in your business.
Some people want to start small. Others want more support. Some want live help. Others want to work through the content at their own pace.
Here are the main options.
Try Module 1
If you are not ready to commit to the full programme, you can start with Module 1.
Module 1 is designed to help you see how Tradecoach works and how the Off The Tools approach can help your trade business.
The price is £617.
This uses the same link as the monthly Off The Tools option.
You can start here:
Off The Tools PAYG
The Off The Tools PAYG option is £617 per month.
This option is useful if you want to spread the cost and work through the programme step by step.
If you choose the PAYG option, modules are released monthly.
This helps you focus on one stage at a time and implement properly before moving on.
You can join here:
DWY Off The Tools Programme

Group Coaching
Group coaching is currently £356 per month.
This gives you support, accountability and access to other trade business owners who are working through similar problems.
It is ideal if you want regular support without the higher cost of 1 to 1 coaching.
1 to 1 Trade Business Coaching
Our 1 to 1 coaching is for trade business owners who want direct support.
This is currently £1,200 per month.
It is personal, direct and limited.
I do not want Tradecoach to become impersonal.
I want to know my clients, their businesses, their numbers, their staff, their problems and their goals.
That is why 1 to 1 coaching is limited.
Is Business Coaching Worth the Cost?
Business coaching can be one of the best investments you make.
A good business coach can help you see problems you are too close to notice.
They can help you price better, manage your time, improve your sales, build systems and stop repeating the same mistakes.
Sometimes, one conversation can make a huge difference.
I remember one coaching call in my own trade business where my coach helped me qualify survey appointments better and justify charging more.
In one hour, I saved around 14 hours per week and increased my prices by 20%.
At the time, my business was turning over more than £1 million.
That one change added around £160,000 extra profit per year and saved around 700 hours of my time.
That is the power of good business coaching.
Can a Business Coach Help You Make More Profit?
Yes, if you implement what you are taught.
A business coach does not magically fix your business.
You still need to do the work.
However, the right coach can help you focus on the right work.
For tradespeople, this often includes:
- Increasing prices
- Qualifying leads better
- Improving close rates
- Reducing wasted time
- Building better systems
- Hiring the right people
- Understanding profit
- Getting off the tools
- Improving cash flow
- Creating a better client journey
These changes can have a big impact.
A small price rise alone can add thousands of pounds to your profit.
Better lead qualification can save hours every week.
A proper system can reduce stress and stop everything living in your head.
Cheap Business Coach vs Specialist Trade Business Coach
A cheap business coach may still give you value.
However, price should not be your only question.
You should ask:
- Have they built a business themselves?
- Do they understand trade businesses?
- Can they help with pricing and profit?
- Do they understand lead generation?
- Can they help you get off the tools?
- Do they have proof and client results?
- Do they give clear actions?
- Do they understand the pressure of running a trade business?
For tradespeople, industry understanding matters.
You do not just need motivation.
You need practical advice that works in the real world.
What Should You Expect From a Business Coach?
A good business coach should help you get clear.
They should help you understand where you are, where you want to go and what needs to change.
You should expect help with:
- Goals
- Pricing
- Sales
- Marketing
- Systems
- Recruitment
- Numbers
- Time management
- Profit
- Accountability
You should also expect honesty.
A good coach will not just tell you what you want to hear.
They will tell you what you need to hear.
