About LXCouncil
LXCouncil was founded by a top-performing peer advisory franchisee who was giving away 23% of revenue while watching fellow franchisees struggle to launch even one group. After selling that franchise for 1.6x revenue, the founder built the model they wished they’d had — one where advisors keep 100% of what they earn and launch in months, not years.
The business model is straightforward: you facilitate monthly peer advisory meetings for groups of privately held CEOs or senior executives. Members pay monthly fees to participate in these high-value sessions where business leaders share challenges, hold each other accountable, and solve problems together. Meetings can be virtual, in-person, or hybrid. With 21 locations (17 licensed, 4 company-owned), LXCouncil has proven the model while maintaining an 85% member retention rate and 100% group retention — no groups have dismantled.
Why License With LXCouncil?
- Keep 100% of your revenue — no royalties, no revenue share, no corporate handcuffs.
- 93% success rate to launch vs industry average under 50% — proprietary PeerLaunch360™ system works.
- 120-day launch timeline gets you earning revenue in months, not the 9-18 months typical in the industry.
- Use your own brand front and center with “Powered By LXCouncil” — you’re not subsumed by corporate branding.
- No territories required — unlimited potential to grow as many groups as you can serve.
ABF Exclusive Insights
Business Model: You lead monthly peer advisory meetings for groups of CEOs and senior executives. Members pay you monthly fees (typically $900+/month per member) plus one-time orientation fees. A single group of 10 members generates $108,000+ annually — and you keep 100%. Multiple groups multiply the math.
Competitive Advantage: Traditional peer advisory franchises charge 20%+ royalties and take 9-18 months to launch a first group. LXCouncil’s 120-day timeline and zero royalties mean faster profitability and dramatically better unit economics. The 93% launch success rate (vs. industry under 50%) validates the PeerLaunch360™ system.
ABF Timing Insight: This opportunity suits business advisors, coaches, consultants, and former executives who already have credibility with business owners. The 200-hour commitment over 120 days to launch your first group can be done alongside other work. Semi-absentee operation is possible once groups are established and running.

Why did I choose LX Council
With LXCouncil, I found everything I needed to lead with confidence and clarity. The proven system, complete with tools, templates, and a clear roadmap, gave me a strong foundation to build on. The robust training platform (LMS) helped me sharpen my skills, while the extensive content library continues to challenge and inspire me. I also value the secure Circle.so community, where I can collaborate in real time with other group leaders. Most of all, having direct access to the CEO and a network of 20+ experienced peer group leaders has provided invaluable wisdom, encouragement, and accountability.
Being a local business owner can be lonely when it comes to personal resources for trusted business advice. Being an LXCouncil Moderator allows me to position local business owners to receive confidential advice from other local business owners fighting the same.
I am honored to be a part of this community. After having the privilege of speaking at the LXCouncil annual conference and spending a lot of time with the staff and the Licensed Partners it was just a matter of time before I joined them. Thank you Tina Corner Stolz for your friendship and the opportunity to get back in the group moderation business…this is going to be fun.
