Powered by TAB Ireland

A local community, backed by international experience.

The Business Owners Guild is powered by The Alternative Board Ireland. It combines a growing Irish owner community with the experience, business-building methods and strategic resources of TAB’s international network.

TAB network

Experience that owners can draw on

Established in 1990

25+ countries

For more than three decades, TAB has brought business owners together to work through challenges, improve decisions and turn plans into action. Its approach combines confidential peer advisory boards, individual coaching and practical strategic tools.

For Guild members, this connection brings access to TAB methodology and resources appropriate to their membership. Owners seeking deeper support can explore TAB Advisory, with facilitated peer boards and individual strategic coaching.

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

Support that develops with your business.

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.
