A standing hour with someone who is not on your payroll
Running a business is the only senior job where nobody reviews your thinking. Everyone around you either works for you, is married to you, or is selling you something. One-to-one coaching is the standing appointment where someone who knows your numbers asks the questions nobody else is in a position to ask.
It is not a course and there is no framework to be walked through. The agenda is whatever is actually in the way this month.
The shape of an engagement
- 1The first two sessions map the business
Where the money comes from, where it goes, what only you can do, and what you say you want the business to be for. Most owners have not written that down.
- 2Then a session every two weeks
Ninety minutes. Ten on what got done since last time, the rest on the thing that is actually blocking you.
- 3Written actions every time
With dates. Coaching without follow-through is an expensive conversation.
- 4A ninety-day review against your starting scores
Measured, not remembered. If it is not moving, we change what we are doing or we stop.
And who it does not
- It suits you if
- You are the decision-maker, the business has revenue, and you are the constraint — too much depends on you and you know it.
- It suits you if
- You have grown past the point where instinct alone is enough and want your thinking pressure-tested before you act, not after.
- It does not suit you if
- You are pre-revenue and want a template. There are cheaper and better ways to get one.
- It does not suit you if
- You want the decision made for you. A coach who tells you what to do has given you an opinion, not a capability.
- It does not suit you if
- The business is in a genuine cash crisis. That needs a turnaround or insolvency specialist first, and we will say so.
What people ask about one-to-one business coaching
What does it cost?
The price is agreed on the discovery call and you leave that call with a specific figure. There is no price list because the five programmes involve different amounts of work. If the fee would stretch the business right now, say so — being advised to wait a quarter is a real outcome.
How long do people stay?
Plan for at least six months. The first two go on mapping the business and agreeing what good looks like, and the work that changes anything comes after that. There is no long contract.
Do I have to be a Buzz Accounting client?
No, and plenty of coaching clients use none of the other services. If we do your accounts, the coach can work from current figures rather than your description of them, which sharpens any conversation about margin or affordability.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes. Nothing said in a session goes to your team, to other clients, or into your accountant's file.
