Financial coaching
Bounded above by regulation.
The catch
Regulated neighbours set your ceiling: clients compare your fee to an adviser’s, and the line you must not cross is narrower than it looks.
Who already has the raw material
- Finance or accounting
- Lived experience of debt recovery
Background is the strongest single predictor of whether a niche works out, because it decides how long you spend building credibility before anyone pays you.
What buyers require first
- Clear separation from regulated financial advice
- Comfort with other people’s numbers
Who the client actually is
A household or sole trader trying to change financial behaviour, not to pick investments.
Work arrives through referrals, employer wellbeing programmes and content. Picking a niche is also picking which of those you are willing to do every week for a year.
