The iBoss Approach

Based in Northamptonshire, Independent Business Owners Support Services (iBoss) was established in 2021 to provide interim management support to small and medium sized owner managed businesses.

We aim to provide businesses, and their owners, experienced professional support, both on a short term and on-going basis. This can be to manage specific projects, cover temporary resource requirements or navigate periods of change. We are much more than business coaches.

Work alongside you, inside your business

Help with your sales & marketing

Write a business plan, raise finance for you

Evaluate, buy or sell a business

How Is This Different To Being A Business Coach?

Many business coaches primarily focus on delivering the skills of the business owner to focus on strategic planning, goal setting, problem solving, time management and work life balance.

Interim Management Support differs in that it provides hands on support to implement plans and address challenges within the business. This will benefit the business and its owners, for example by taking on specific projects, thereby freeing up the owners to manage the basic business or concentrate on other priorities.

Before we consider taking on any new client, we seek to ensure that not only do we understand the challenges a business owner is facing but that iBoss can provide the support to address such challenges.

When Would It Be Better To Use Interim Management Rather Than A Business Coach?

The most likely scenarios would be when a business owner faces challenges within the business and they do not have the resources, knowledge or as is most often the case the time to manage the challenges on their own.

Property Development Project

Phil helped me to launch my Bear making company. From business planning & marketing to on-going mentoring, I couldn’t have done it without him. The business plan was a big minefield for me, and he helped me no end. Thank you for helping so much to turn my dream into reality. I can’t wait for phase 2.

Peter and his colleagues have provided invaluable experience and support for my initial venture into property development. They have been involved with every stage of the project from procurement of finance, accountancy advice and project management through to the arrangement of the conveyancing process. I look forward to embarking on future successful and profitable projects with Peter, Phil and John.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your help over the past few months in purchasing my business. Your expertise and guidance were invaluable, and I couldn’t have done it without you. I appreciate the time and effort you put into making sure everything went smoothly, and I’m thrilled with the end result. I’m looking forward to enjoying running the company for years to come. Thank you again for your outstanding service. I will definitely recommend iBoss to anyone looking for business consulting.

Thanks to Phil, we have a clear Business Plan and have been able to secure funds to expand our business. We would recommend Phil and the Team at iBOSS to anyone who is looking for professional assistance and funding. Cheers Phil!

The reason I am writing to you is to thank you for all the support you have provided for our new business. I originally contacted you for assistance setting up my new business. From the beginning the IBOSS team were implemental in the direction the business should proceed forward and also with suggesting ways in which the business could generate a stable income. The IBOSS team supported us by providing professionalism, timely services, flexibility and overall, an outstanding service. I want to say a huge thank you from both myself and all of the team.

I cannot thank you enough Phil for your and John’s immense work this past 12 months, we wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for you both. I appreciated John’s counsel on all matters and now feel it is time for us to make our own way. I know we are new to this but with your wise advice we now have people supporting us sufficiently to free our time to dedicate to the management of the business. Again I cannot thank you both enough for all of your assistance.
