The honest read on your options — franchise implementer models, certification programs, and Metronomics. The others charge significant initial fees or ongoing monthly dues, in models oriented to smaller companies and open to newer coaches. Metronomics has no franchise fee, takes 0% on your own book, and certifies proven coaches for larger, growth-stage companies. All the paths work; they're built for different coaches.
*Competitor figures are directional, gathered from public sources as of 2024 — verify against current franchise-disclosure and certification documents. Metronomics figures are from the 2024 Canadian coach agreement (CAD, excl. tax).
You're newer to coaching and want a heavily structured program with strong brand recognition, and your natural market is smaller companies — roughly $1M–$10M — where the graduation model is a feature, not a bug.
You're a proven coach or ex-operator who wants to keep your own brand and book, work with growth-stage leadership teams, and build a practice on clients who stay for years — without a franchise fee or royalties on your own clients.
For newer coaches targeting smaller companies who want a structured franchise, it can be. For experienced coaches who want to keep their brand, avoid franchise fees, and serve larger companies with longer engagements, the Metronomics path is built for exactly that.
Publicly reported figures are roughly US$50,000 initial plus about US$1,395/month in ongoing fees (as of 2024 — verify current figures). Metronomics, by contrast, is CA$15,000/year in dues plus CA$125/month software, with no initial franchise fee.
A franchise sells you a territory and a brand, with initial fees and ongoing dues. An independent license — the Metronomics model — lets you run your own firm, keep your own brand and rates, and pay nothing on the clients you bring in yourself.
