Choosing the right professional
Ask whether the provider is offering coaching, business mentoring or a different advisory service. A coach can help structure decisions without claiming to establish legal eligibility, choose a tax structure or guarantee enough income to leave employment.
Important considerations
- Personal hopes may be mistaken for business evidence
- Employment obligations may require legal review
- Tax and financial questions can exceed coaching competence
