Survey reveals Business Coaches save 97% of Canadian Businesses they work with
Business coaching critical to small business survival

EDMONTON, AB, July 09, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Edmonton, AB- StatsCan published a decade long study showing that 80% of all businesses in Canada shut their doors every 10 years with 55% closing them in the critical 2-5 year period. A new survey of 247 businesses in Canada conducted by Greg Kopchuk and ActionCOACH Canada has shown that when business owners work with a coach they have 97% success rate in the first 2-10 years, compared to the 55% failure rate of businesses without one.

"It's tough to have a business in Canada. Taxes are high, red tape is thick. Banks & governments provide less than no help. Yet every day we see new businesses opening, & some of them thriving. Canadians want to succeed, and they want to do it on their own. So how does a business thrive? One, they work hard. Two, they do their homework. And three--in all likelihood--they have coaching. Either it takes an informal route, a friend or family member who ran a similar business, or more usually, it takes the formal route--a professional business coach," says Kopchuk, whose company recently won the 2011 Franchise Canada Award for Excellence.

"The concept of Business Coaching is not new, but there is still a great deal of reluctance for business owners to seek outside advice. The numbers speak for themselves; if they don't seek help 4 out of 5 owners will shut their doors in 10 years. A business coach is there to assist the business owner with what needs to get done, they also assist in breaking down the what and give you the how and hold you accountable through weekly achievable goals. The numbers don't lie: Action Coach Business coaching is critical to the success of any business in Canada. We are at the forefront of a new revolutionary concept for saving small businesses," says Kopchuk.

Greg Kopchuk has recently launched a revolutionary concept in small business- getting customers for his clients and creating a raving fan phenomenon. The ActionCOACH Canada team have offices all across Canada helping small business owners succeed.
