Hiring an ADHD Business Coach: Red Flags, Green Lights

The rise of ADHD-focused business coaching has opened new doors for entrepreneurs who think differently—but it’s also created a marketplace full of confusion and false promises. With no regulation or licensing standards, anyone can call themselves an ADHD business coach, leaving neurodivergent entrepreneurs vulnerable to generic strategies disguised as specialized help. A true ADHD business coach understands both the lived experience of ADHD and the mechanics of running a sustainable business that works with your brain, not against it. They’ll teach you how to simplify systems, amplify your natural strengths, and turn traits like hyperfocus and innovation into genuine assets. In this blog, you’ll learn what red flags to avoid, what questions to ask before hiring a coach, and how to recognize the “green lights” that signal real ADHD-aligned support. Because when it comes to your business and your brain, you deserve expertise that’s as unique as you are.
