Mentoring for your new business!

Mentoring for your new business!

Are you just starting out in business? A mentor may be able to help you get on the right path.

When getting started, most businesses think about getting a grant or funding to help push their dream along. However the government generally doesn’t offer funding to people to just start a business.

There are other types of support available – such as mentors or business advisers who can help you set yourself up for success.

What are the benefits of having a mentor?

Striking up a relationship with a business adviser or mentor can help you:

  • develop your business skills
  • provide support, impartial advice and guidance
  • grow your business network
  • reflect upon your business practice.

It’s also a great way to expand your business network and give you a new perspective on a problem you might have been working on for a while.
