DENVER, CO (Wednesday, February 15, 2006) - The locally owned and operated office of The Alternative Board® (TAB) is part of an organization that has jumped to No. 226 in Entrepreneur magazine's annual Franchise 500® -- up from No. 466 last year.

The Alternative Board® is the only ranked franchise differentiated as a peer advisory board opportunity in addition to coaching. In the business consulting category of the 2006 listing, TAB is ranked No. 2.

"The ranking confirms the attraction of The Alternative Board® and the valuable advice and service we provide local business owners. Both locally and globally, we aim to help business owners achieve their business and personal vision," said Jason Zickerman, TAB president and COO. "Such exposure allows us to get the word out to privately held business owners that they do have an alternative resource for quality, objective advice to lead their companies more strategically."

The Alternative Board® allows facilitators to leverage their expertise and business experience to grow small businesses using peer advice and coaching by bringing owners, CEOs and presidents of non-competing businesses together in boards, creating a confidential "think-tank" atmosphere. The boards consist of up to 12 members, meeting monthly under the guidance of a TAB-Certified Facilitator.

"Small businesses need objective advice in order to continue moving their business forward," said Zickerman. "I can't imagine a better place to get that advice than from other business owners who've faced similar situations."

In over 100 cities across the United States, Canada and South America, board members meet to receive the benefit of the collective experience of the board where they can learn from one another and create new business solutions. Members also receive private one-on-one business coaching, which focuses on assessing all areas of the business to identify and prioritize actions needed to grow the company, as well as developing a strategic plan that allows the owner to align their personal and business visions to achieve greater success.
