What Affects the Cost?

Lerwick coaching prices depend on several key factors: coach qualifications and industry specialism (enterprise development versus general business coaching creates price variation); engagement format (hourly sessions versus structured packages typically offer better value); business sector and complexity (fishing, tourism, and hospitality businesses may require specialist rates); coach location (remote versus travel to Lerwick); and package length. Coaches with Shetland enterprise or SME experience often command premium rates. Longer-term packages generally offer 15-20% savings versus hourly rates.

Money-Saving Tips

Book coaching packages rather than hourly sessions—you'll typically save 15-20%. Group workshops offer excellent value at £35-60 per person. Consider specialist coaches within the Shetland business community or FSB Scotland-approved mentors, many offering subsidised sessions for start-ups and growth businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is coaching more expensive than business advice?

Coaches typically hold advanced qualifications (ICF-certified or equivalent), provide ongoing accountability, and focus on your specific business goals rather than general information. You're investing in personalised, strategic support and professional development outcomes.

Do Lerwick coaches offer virtual sessions?

Yes, most Lerwick-based coaches work virtually via Zoom or Teams, which is particularly common in Shetland. Remote sessions reduce travel barriers and often work out the same price as in-person coaching.

Can I get subsidised coaching as a start-up?

Shetland Islands Council and Scottish Enterprise sometimes offer subsidised mentoring and coaching for eligible start-ups and growth businesses. Check with your local business gateway or FSB Scotland for current support schemes.

What's the typical coaching commitment?

Most business coaches recommend a minimum of 6-12 weeks of weekly or fortnightly sessions to see tangible results. Many offer rolling monthly plans, so you can build commitment gradually based on outcomes.
