Do certified business coaches charge more?
Only at the PCC level. 94% of business coaches list no coaching credential.

| PCC (ICF Professional Certified Coach) | 52 | $118 to $244 |
To earn the ACC, a coach must log 100 coaching hours with at least 8 clients. The PCC takes 500 hours with at least 25 clients (ICF). PCC coaches charge $118 to $244 an hour, the highest of any credential group. A credential shows training and hours. It does not show whether a coach has run or grown a company like yours.
Business coaching pricing packages
Many business coaches sell monthly plans instead of single hours.

Over a full year, monthly plans come to $1,272 to $7,200. To compare plans, turn each one into a price per live hour. Ask how many calls you get each month, how long each call lasts, and whether you can reach the coach between calls.
What drives the price
- Where the coach works. Singapore business coaches charge $158 to $286 an hour. South African business coaches charge $60 to $175.
- The PCC credential. PCC coaches charge $118 to $244 an hour, compared with $94 to $225 for coaches with no credential.
- Scope. 89% of business coaches quote a range, not one price. Ask which of your needs push the price to the top of their range.
- Coach type. Executive coaches charge more, at $125 to $275 an hour.
When paying for a business coach makes sense
A business coach pays off best when you have a clear goal with a number attached, like raising prices, hiring your first manager, or fixing cash flow, and you will act on the advice. When the real need is one skill, like bookkeeping or ad setup, a specialist who does the work is a better use of the same money.
