Two organisations, one purpose: stronger owner-led businesses.

The Business Owners Guild is powered by The Alternative Board Ireland. They are distinct: the Guild is the community, TAB is the premium advisory pathway.

The Business Owners Guild

An Ireland-wide community for business owners, experienced locally through chapters. It widens access to:

  • business-building methodology
  • an owner community
  • strategic thinking
  • proven TAB resources

The Alternative Board Ireland

TAB remains the premium, high-touch pathway for owners who want deeper, structured support:

  • peer Advisory Boards
  • one-to-one strategic coaching
  • strategic planning and accountability
  • TAB tools and methodologies

The Guild is not a replacement for TAB, and Guild membership is not TAB membership. TAB Advisory is offered by qualification and conversation, never by self-enrolment.

How they work together

A pathway, not a competition.

Many owners will find everything they need in the Guild Community or Guild Builder pathways. For owners who want a peer Advisory Board and one-to-one coaching, TAB Advisory is the next step — and the Guild is how many owners will first encounter it.
