The Alternative Board Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2022

Background

The Alternative Board (TAB) is the world's largest franchise system providing peer advisory boards and coaching services to business leaders of privately-owned businesses.

Consistent Monthly Income: TAB franchisees benefit from the significant, consistent monthly income TAB's business model provides. As a TAB franchisee, your main revenue stream will come in the form of monthly membership dues from peer advisory board participants. The average length of TAB membership is 3.31 years, with many of our members being a part of the community for 10+ years! TAB franchisees also earn revenue through business assessment fees, additional private coaching sessions and consulting opportunities in their specific area of expertise. 50% of our franchisees report earnings of $90,000+ in annual revenue from their core TAB services (membership dues, business assessment fees and coaching fees) and the majority of our franchisees report additional income from consulting opportunities directly linked to the TAB opportunity.

Exclusive Territory: TAB provides all our franchisees with a protected territory and exclusive marketing rights. This allows our franchisees to operate their businesses without having to worry about competing with other TAB businesses. It also fosters a cooperative culture among our franchisee community. Our franchisees are a great resource for support and helping each other with their own business challenges and opportunities. Territories are also scalable, with multiple growth strategies currently being successfully implemented within the system.

Prestige & Prominence: One of the main benefits TAB facilitator/coaches enjoy is that they do not have to reinvent themselves. Our franchisees have 7+ years of experience as business consultants, senior-level executives and/or business owners. They are able to leverage these years of experience to build a profitable business wherein they enjoy consistent monthly income and the peace of mind that comes with achieving their desired work/life balance. TAB franchisees also enjoy the prestige and prominence of being recognized business leaders in their local communities.
