What is a business coach?
A business coach will assist and guide the business owner in running a business by helping them clarify the vision of their business and align it with their personal goals. Business coaching is the process of taking a business from where it is now to where the business owner wants it to be.
Do I need a business coach?
Signs to tell you if you need a business coach are:
- You see no clear path forward
- You are overwhelmed
- You need more personal accountability
- You want to develop new skills
- You are in a rut
If you can answer “yes” to at least 3 out of 5, you will benefit from a business coach.
Do I need to make an appointment?
Miriam generally works Mondays to Fridays from 9am to 4pm, but is also off-site with clients on a regular basis. Please email Miriam directly or call her (please leave a message so she can return your call as soon as she is able). We also make appointments outside of these hours so please get in touch with us.
What does an accountant do?
Accountants make sure that you are on top of your finances and tax obligations. They help you plan for financial troughs and show you how you can effectively operate your business.
Do I need an accountant?
If you need advice around your business’ legal structure, when you write your business plan, when it comes to your taxes or when you need help with your finances, the answer is “yes”. Start-up businesses should hire an accountant before they start trading, or within the first 3-6 months. It will save you time and money in the long-run and you will have the piece of mind that everything is in order.
