Values & History

Allen Fishman launched TAB in 1991 in St. Louis. It was an outgrowth of his experience utilizing a board heavily for advice as he lead the turnaround of Tipton Electronics. He realized that the board was invaluable to him. But what about the private business owner? Where do they go for advice? This is why Allen created TAB.

TAB franchise owners have a purpose to what they do. They make a difference in the businesses and the lives of their members. Every day, you have the chance to change the lives, professionally and personally, of the business owners you meet.

At TAB, we believe:
  • Collective wisdom brings a strategic advantage
  • Accountability hastens individual and business success
  • Drive and creativity engender greater possibilities
  • Clarity of advice eliminates the fear of change

Industry Performance

According to IBISWorld, the business coaching industry is estimated at $15 billion and that revenue increased at an annualized rate of 5.6% over the five years to 2019. Favorable economic conditions enabled not only new companies to enter the market, but also existing companies to expand their operations, boosting demand for industry services. TAB focuses its services on small businesses that lack the size and infrastructure to support a board of their own, meaning that growth in new companies brings continued growth to TAB.

Additionally, TAB has been named a Number 1 Business Coaching and Consulting Franchise. This means that we know what we are doing and we are exactly what you should be looking for in a franchise partner.

Training & Support

While our standards are very high in terms of the caliber of candidates that we select to run a TAB business, we provide a comprehensive training and support program to assist candidates with diverse backgrounds to be successful as TAB Franchise Owners.

TAB offers a 30-topic business education training program called the Master of Entrepreneurial Studies. This program helps ensure that TAB owners are fully educated on all key business areas facing private business owners and are confident in coaching them across all areas of their business. New TAB franchisees will take this structured curriculum over a 30 month period.

As a TAB owner, you will receive world-class training from people who have successfully launched franchises all around the world. TAB's franchisee support teams assist franchise owners in growing board membership and sustaining desired business levels through strong member retention. Our support programs include:
  • Initial on-site training at TAB Headquarters
