Growth Coach offers franchises to operate a business under the name THE GROWTH COACH to conduct business and sales coaching, executive coaching, management and personal development workshops, seminars, and individual coaching, consulting, and mentoring for business owners, managers and executives, and self-employed professionals. You will coach your clients to develop or enhance effective business and sales habits, management and organizational skills, business strategies, action plans, and sales techniques. You may also provide project management assistance to selected clients. You will market your services through personal solicitation of referral sources such as bankers, attorneys, accountants, consulting firms, and other business professionals, and through networking, public speaking, newsletters, strategic alliances, publicity, and direct letter and e-mail campaigns. You will compete with other business and sales coaching services in the same geographic area, including those that may be franchised by other national franchise companies. We will train you to operate the franchised business. As a Growth Coach franchisee, you will be subject to numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations that apply to businesses in general, and may be subject to laws and regulations that apply to business coaching or consulting services in particular. You will be responsible for investigating and complying with any laws or regulations that may apply to business coaching or consulting businesses in your territory. You will also be responsible for complying with employment, workers' compensation, insurance, corporate, tax, and similar laws and regulations, as well as any federal, state, or local laws of a more general nature that may affect the operation of your franchised business. You should thoroughly investigate all of these laws before purchasing a Growth Coach franchise. Growth Coach was formed solely for the purpose of selling and supporting business and sales coaching franchises. We have offered franchises of this type since December 2002. We have never operated any franchises. We have never offered franchises in any other business or engaged in other business activities.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $39,900 Maximum: $39,900
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $54,000 Maximum: $75,900
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
