Business coaching services

“...participants felt that financial coaching helped them to reduce their stress levels related to finances. One client even reported that a coach was responsible for helping her to stop smoking. Interviewees report that reductions in stress in part related to a reframing of their financial condition and goals.”

Working with an experienced financial business coach is crucial for a small business owner. They can help you understand the basics of your finances and how to create healthy money habits that can lead to your business’ growth.

It can be difficult for small business owners to handle their own finances when they’re managing different things at once. Running a small business demands time, effort, and energy so it’s challenging for an owner to be on top of everything.

New small business owners are often thrust into handling a business without anyone to teach them the ropes. And while experience can be a great teacher, making mistakes or resorting to the trial-and-error method can be risky for a business, especially when it comes to finances.

This is why many small business owners encounter common financial problems such as inconsistent cash flow, mishandled taxes, lack of capital and emergency expenditures, and overspending their budget. Encountering one of these can already be a major stumble for your business, but when it all piles up it can cause serious problems.

With the help of a business coach, you can overcome these challenges and allow them to help you understand how your finances work and teach you how to make smarter and more strategic financial decisions.

Why use a financial business coach in a small business?

Just like a life coach can help someone find fulfillment and improve their daily life, a financial business coach can help you achieve your business goals by teaching you money management skills and helping you develop a better attitude about your finances.

Working with an advisor also helps hold you accountable. Business can be very lonely but with an advisor, business owners can be more cognisant of what they do and have the help they need.

They educate you and build your financial knowledge (such as tax obligations and legal requirements) so that you’re better prepared to handle that aspect of your business. They also recommend strategies to improve your financial processes so that it runs more efficiently.

Unlike a financial advisor (i.e. someone who manages and invests your assets) or a financial planner (i.e. someone who offers investment opportunities or insurance products), a financial business coach focuses on a business owner’s fundamental financial issues and habits that are influenced by emotional or behavioural components. They then create plans to help a business owner improve their attitude, habits, and decision-making skills when it comes to their finances.

These are some of the services a financial business coach offers:

Understand and articulate your spending habits.
Identify underlying financial issues indicated in your spending habits.
Outline a financial plan.
Understand the emotional components of dealing with money.
Create strategies to achieve your financial goals.

This is why a financial business coach can help you recognise your own weaknesses when it comes to money matters and develop step-by-step processes so you have a wiser and more confident approach towards your finances.

Small business ownership can be lonely — but it doesn’t have to be. A financial business coach can offer you the support and guidance you need as you continue on your journey of building a successful business.
