The Alternative Board (TAB), a leading business advisory franchise, has once again received a coveted 5-Star Franchisee Satisfaction Award from WorkBuzz.

The highly respected accolade is awarded based entirely on anonymous feedback from franchisees, highlighting excellence in training, support, leadership and overall satisfaction.  The award reflects the strength and integrity of TAB’s franchise model across five key areas: training & support, franchise system, culture & relationships, leadership, and general satisfaction.

As TAB celebrates 15 successful years in the UK in 2025, the WorkBuzz rating further cements its reputation for delivering meaningful support and value to its network of franchisees across the UK.

Ed Reid, Managing Director of TAB UK, commented: “Being awarded the 5-Star is an incredible honour and a true reflection of what we stand for at TAB. With general satisfaction rated at 90%, and peer support, trust in leadership and fairness all scoring 96%, it’s clear that our franchisees feel empowered, respected, and supported. Head Office support was rated at 91%, and I’m particularly proud that 100% of respondents reported a strong work life balance as that is something we value deeply.

“These results aren’t just numbers; they represent the impact of a franchise system built on trust, collaboration and life-changing outcomes.”

Feedback from TAB franchisees further illustrates the strength of the culture and community at the heart of the franchise with comments including: culture is first class and we change people’s lives.

TAB’s services are in growing demand as more business owners and leaders turn to peer-led support to navigate challenges and accelerate growth. Its franchise model empowers entrepreneurial individuals to build successful businesses while making a meaningful impact in their local SME communities.

Opportunities are available across the UK for confident leaders with a strong business background. As TAB franchisees, they facilitate peer advisory boards, bringing together local business owners in a confidential, collaborative environment to exchange insights, solve problems and grow together. The franchisee guides these sessions, helping members achieve greater clarity, performance and direction.

TAB’s proven model has consistently delivered results, supporting SME leaders in improving operations, building resilience and making better decisions. Beyond the model itself, TAB represents a supportive, values-driven community where both franchisees and business owners are committed to helping one another succeed.
