How does the TAB (UK) Franchise work?

A franchise opportunity that reaps rewards

Choosing your TAB business journey

Whichever route you take, starting your own business with a TAB franchise provides you with a proven roadmap to follow from the sector’s leading brand and a clear exit strategy. You will have the power of the brand, professional content and collateral, bespoke systems, and ongoing personal guidance and support to call on at all times. And you will be part of a close-knit network of collaborative fellow franchisees.

TAB owner / Solo

Build your own portfolio of local business owner clients, focussing on helping only the clients you choose to work with. This generates profitable income and provides the work/life balance you seek.

Move from working in your business to directing your own coaches to scale up your TAB business, generating passive income whilst creating a bigger asset to sell in the future.

Do what you love and achieve financial rewards

The TAB model offers a substantial and versatile opportunity for a consistent and healthy income stream. As a subscription-based model, clients pay monthly fees, which ensures a dependable monthly income.

This stability is a contrast to the "feast or famine" model often experienced in consulting businesses. Franchisees establish themselves as trusted advisors for their clients, leading to increased consulting income when clients require assistance. The model also presents additional income possibilities through the application of proprietary and affiliated business tools.

In 2022, the top one-third of TAB (UK) franchisees who have been operating their businesses for over two years experienced impressive earnings:

£102,865 - £305,254

“When I think about my TAB colleagues, friends and peers, it’s difficult not to get emotional about it to be perfectly honest. I genuinely don’t think I would have had this much success and built the business the way I have without them.”

Julian Smith, TAB Partner (Derby & East Mids)
