Frequently Asked Questions

Running a trade or service business comes with plenty of questions—whether you’re a builder, electrician, plumber, carpet cleaner, window company owner, or any other hands-on professional. At Business Builders Ltd, we know your time is precious and you need clear, practical answers before making decisions about business coaching or support.

That’s why we’ve put together this Frequently Asked Questions page. Here, you’ll find straightforward answers to the most common questions we get from business owners just like you—covering everything from how our coaching works and what results you can expect, to specific concerns about pricing, admin, marketing, and growing your business.

If you don’t see your question here, please get in touch. We’re always happy to chat and help you find the best way forward for your business.

1. What types of businesses do you coach?

We specialise in working with small to medium-sized service businesses—particularly trades such as building, electrical, pest control, and glass companies. However, our coaching methods apply to a wide range of sectors, including bakeries, cleaning, solar, industrial parts, and more. If you’re committed to growth and open to new strategies, we’d love to help.

2. How does your coaching process work?

Our coaching is one-to-one and fully tailored to your business. We start with an in-depth assessment of where you are now and where you want to go. The first 90 days focus on building solid foundations: reviewing your marketing, pricing, lead generation, and more. You’ll receive workbooks, guides, and ongoing support via calls and email.

3. What results can I expect—and how quickly?

Most clients see measurable improvements within the first 3 months. Typical results include increased leads, higher conversion rates, and improved profitability. Many of our clients have doubled their profits or achieved major contract wins within 6–12 months.

4. How much does coaching cost?

Our coaching packages range from £350/month (coaching only) to £500/month (coaching plus implementation support). We recommend a minimum 1-year commitment to achieve lasting results, but you’ll start seeing progress much sooner.

5. What’s included in your coaching packages?

  • Personalised one-to-one coaching calls
  • Step-by-step workbooks and templates
  • Email follow-ups and unlimited support between sessions
  • Access to proven marketing and sales frameworks
  • Progress tracking and accountability

6. What’s your experience with businesses like mine?

With over 10 years’ experience and a track record of helping businesses triple turnover, secure national contracts, and launch new ventures, we know what works in the real world—especially for trade and service businesses.

7. What if I don’t have time for admin or marketing?

You’re not alone! Many of our clients struggle with time management at first. We help you put systems in place to save time, automate admin, and make marketing manageable—so you can focus on running your business. If you want we can do this for you.

8. How do you help with pricing and profit?

We start with a full pricing and profit review. Many businesses undercharge—so we help you set the right prices, improve margins, and manage cash flow for sustainable growth.

9. Do you offer any guarantees?

While we can’t guarantee specific financial results (every business is unique), our proven frameworks and hands-on support are designed to deliver measurable improvements. Most clients see a clear return on investment within months. We do have a double your money back guarantee, see below.

Yes! We provide proven strategies for collecting and showcasing reviews on Google, Facebook, and your website—including templates, incentive ideas, and easy-to-implement systems.

12. What makes you different from other business coaches?
