Career coaching for a move into self-employment — Career coach — Professionals
Providers should identify the career-development objective and distinguish it from venture feasibility or professional advice. Help the client identify information and specialist support needed, while leaving business and financial decisions with the client and relevant advisers.
Service scope
Coaching around the personal and career transition from employment or another role into independent work. It supports exploration and action planning while business formation, tax, finance and regulated professional requirements remain separate specialist questions.
What is normally included
- Transition-goal exploration
- Skills and work-pattern reflection
- A client-owned preparation plan
What is not included
- Guaranteed business success
- Tax or legal-structure recommendations
- Financing approval or business incorporation
Qualification checks
- Define the coaching goal
- Establish planned activity
- Separate specialist-advice needs
- Agree realistic preparation scope
- Set review and confidentiality arrangements
Quote guidance
Price transition coaching sessions and any agreed planning materials. Keep business-plan consulting, registration, tax advice and financing work separate, and do not market the fee as buying a successful start-up.
Lead risks
- The client may already be trading
- The request may be for business consultancy
- Income expectations may lack supporting evidence
