TAB – THE ALTERNATIVE BOARD FRANCHISE
Do What You Love. Own Your Own Business. Achieve Financial Rewards.
Learn how our Peer & Business Coaching Model can be the most rewarding work of your career.
TAB Franchise Owners run dynamic, membership-only board meetings every month where members pool their knowledge and experience for the benefit of the group. Each board consists of up to 10 business owners and CEOs of privately-owned companies.
In a trusted, candid and confidential setting, decision makers from non-competing companies in diverse industries meet to solve problems and evaluate opportunities in their markets. Along with discussing the business challenges they face and exploring new possibilities for increased productivity and profitability, members will also hold each other accountable for results.
As a TAB Franchise Owner, you will nurture the growth of local businesses. Through a platform of knowledge and guidance, you will deliver real-world advice that provides a results-driven advantage to help business owners stay focused on what matters most. The impact you have will ripple through your community as you facilitate positive change by performing top level coaching, business owner board facilitation and business consulting.
In addition to facilitating TAB Board meetings, you will also provide individual coaching sessions using TAB’s proprietary tools and processes. Working one-on-one with TAB members, you will analyze their business and help them create a customized strategic plan that will allow them to reach their business objectives and personal vision.

As a TAB Franchise Owner, your days will never be the same.
