Chris and the team at ActionCOACH help Business Owners to create a business that works for them rather than they work for their business. The majority of Business Owners are great at their trade or profession but have little or no education in how to run and grow a business. If, as an Owner, you find yourself working too many hours, not earning enough money, or having difficulty building a great team, then that is where Business Coaching helps.

Drawing on strategies and resources that have worked for 000s of businesses over 25+ year, our services include:

• 121 Coaching
• Group Coaching 
• Specialist Webinars on topics such as Business Planning, Sales, Marketing, Business Growth, Leadership and Management
• Access to world-class speakers at masterclasses, conferences, workshops and webinars
• Resources, templates and materials you can use in your business

Our focus is always on helping the Owner to live the life they want to lead. We focus on achieving those personal goals by developing the business that can enable them.

Ayming operates in 15 countries across Europe and North America and has a proven track record over our 35-year history.

Innovation is fundamental to staying competitive, but funding and tax in this field are complex and often under-exploited, as is the importance of company-wide engagement. We open new possibilities in R&D Tax Relief and grant-funding, unlocking value and allowing clients to reinvest in their businesses to improve their competitive advantage.

Together we go further.
