Who it’s for
Do I need a business mentor?
- Your business works because of you, not without you, and it’s starting to feel chaotic.
- You want a mentor who will challenge you and keep you accountable, not a cheerleader.
- You need a proper management structure, real delegation, and people held to account.
- Cash flow and profit aren’t what the turnover says they should be.
- You want to lead strategically instead of being in every decision.
- The end game is to scale, bring in a general manager or appoint a managing director so the business runs without you (if you choose), or exit.

What a planning day looks like
I spend the day in your business. We go through the numbers, the team and the way decisions get made, then agree what the business should be paying off for you and the plan to get there. You leave with the priorities in order and who owns each one.
After that, monthly mentoring keeps you to it: in person at your business or mine, or on Zoom, with support between sessions when it matters.

Choosing Dr Lewis Haydon means working with someone who is open about his journey: he owns and invests in businesses and has coached 100+ more since 2012. No theory you can't use on Monday.
I’ve coached and mentored owners across care and supported living, recruitment, construction and civil engineering, fire safety and risk management, manufacturing, IT, telecoms and AI, distribution and warehousing, property development, accountancy, marketing and lead generation, management consulting, arboriculture, security, mobility and healthcare equipment, and medical technology — and I own and invest in businesses in several of those myself. Chances are I’ve already sat at the table of an owner in your sector. But that isn’t what makes the difference. What does is that I own and run businesses myself, so I’m not advising from a textbook.
Questions
Do you only coach businesses in Birmingham?
No. I’m based in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter and do planning days in person across the West and East Midlands — Solihull, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Worcester, Nottingham, Shrewsbury, Stafford — and I’ll come to your office anywhere else in the UK too. Monthly sessions run on Zoom for owners anywhere in the UK and abroad.
What does it cost?
Business mentoring from £800 a month plus VAT, with tiers up to £3,500 a month. A planning day is £2,000 plus VAT. A virtual gap analysis is £699 plus VAT, refunded if you become a monthly client. The first conversation is a 30-minute virtual coffee. Full prices are on the pricing page.
Can we meet at your office?
Yes. I’m at 71 Vyse Street in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham B18 6EX, by appointment. Most planning days happen in your business, because that’s where the problems are.
“It’s not only me he’s supported; he’s worked with members of my team too, which has made a real difference across the business.”
