The Difference between a Business Consultant and Business Coach.

​Out of all the questions we are asked about our services this is the number one question, as many business owners know they need support and try to decipher between a consultant and a coach.  Both Consultants and coaches work with you to address areas in your business such as Time Management, Accountability, Action planning, Follow up and Motivation.  However, their approach is very different and who you choose depends on the kind of support you are looking for.
 
 
A business consultant provides a high level of expertise. They have a multitude of experience form of web design, marketing, staff training or strategy planning. A business consultant will assist you in improving systems within your business structure.
 
Typically, a business consultant will meet with you to determine your goals and analyse your business to help determine areas of improvement.  They will then work with you to devise a plan that will help you move forward so that you can reach your goals.  These goals can be related to improving your bottom line through systems and procedures.
 
Many business owners hire a consultant to actually complete projects for them based on their area of expertise, as consultants will offer their services on an hourly rate to complete tasks they don’t have time or expertise to complete.
 
A business consultant is perfect if you are looking for someone to introduce systems or procedures to your business, train you staff or help with marketing web design etc.
