Business Mentoring
We offer down-to-earth advice and support to help you feel confident and make real progress in your business.
What is Business Mentoring?
Business mentoring is when someone with real business experience helps guide and support you as you grow your own business. It’s like having a trusted advisor in your corner—someone to bounce ideas off, talk through challenges, and help you stay focused on what matters most.
A mentor doesn’t tell you what to do—they help you figure it out for yourself, with encouragement, honest feedback, and practical advice based on their own journey.
The Benefits of Mentoring
You can benefit from having a mentor if you want to grow an established business or trying to get a new business off the ground.
Mentoring offers opportunities for personal development and a range of other benefits.
Mentoring can help you develop your business through improved planning, performance and productivity.
It can broaden your business networks, which can help you identify new opportunities, ideas and innovative solutions for your business.
Your mentor can offer advice, support and guidance, which can help you improve your problem-solving skills and develop leadership skills.
You can share ideas and problems with your mentor, and they can act as a sounding board to help you make the right decisions.
Our Mentoring Approach
Our experienced business professional will share their knowledge, skills, and experience with you, to help you develop solutions to your business challenges.
Our Mentor will be objective and provide valuable advice, inspiration and focus.
Mentoring can be provided to individuals or to a group.
You can choose whether you want face-to-face meetings or online discussions - or a combination of both - depending on which arrangement is best for you.
Your mentor will stay in regular contact with you through meetings, telephone calls and emails.
The nature of the relationship may vary from being fairly casual - e.g. a monthly telephone call or informal visit - to being more formal and structured - e.g. setting meeting agendas and business objectives.
