Let UKBM help turn your years of experience into a business that works for you.
Who We Are
UK Business Mentoring Group (UKBM) is a nationwide business mentoring and coaching organisation supporting business owners across the UK. Established in 2009, UKBM helps owners improve across all areas of the business and create businesses that are less dependent on them and maximises the value for an eventual exit.
What We Do
Every relationship with a new owner begins with a review of the business covering all the key areas of the business, including financial performance, leadership, people, processes, sales and marketing. The findings are presented to the owner and used to agree priorities and create a strategic plan for improvement and growth based on the client’s goals and objectives.
Mentoring sessions with the client are normally monthly where performance against plan is evaluated and discussed. The role of a Mentor covers; guiding, encouraging, challenging, offering alternatives and providing honest advice, perspective and accountability, working alongside owners as long-term trusted advisers. Support is tailored to the individual business/owner rather than delivered through a one-size-fits-all programme. UKBM operates without any long-term contract commitment by the client or minimum periods and offers a money back pledge. In all the years of operation we have never had anyone call on that pledge and our client satisfaction rating is 96% Five Star and 4% Four Star, something we are both passionate and proud about.

Why Become a Franchise Partner?
- You have probably had a good number of years’ experience and are feeling that you would like to share those learnings and pass it on to others. A UKBM franchise can be developed as a full-time enterprise or as a lifestyle business designed to fit around you.
- Franchisees are in control of their working hours, income ambitions and the number of clients they support, making it ideal for anyone seeking freedom, improved work-life balance or a gradual move towards semi-retirement.
- No Targets! if you are looking for a franchise where YOU decide how much you earn rather than being given a target by a franchisor then UKBM is for you.
- Extensive training and ongoing support
- Part of a truly collaborative team. One franchisee stated ‘It didn’t feel like I was buying a franchise, more I was joining a team of like-minded people’
- Joining a Franchise that has been recognised with the prestigious Five Star Franchisee Satisfaction Award in 2024, 2025 and 2026
- UKBM provides the systems, credibility and support needed to build a valuable and personally fulfilling business that suits the lifestyle you want.
What do you look for in Franchisees?
We look for people who have either run their own business or worked at a senior level in business or the corporate world. Essentially applicants should have a broad knowledge of how a business operates, have led and managed a team and understand the financials of a how a business works.
Strong communication skills are important and we will be looking for individuals who can quickly build rapport with people and develop long lasting effective relationships.
