Mentoring Programme

Who Is This For?

Have you got an idea for a new business or social enterprise? Are you looking to take your existing business to the next level?

bizmentors® is open to new and existing businesses, social enterprises and community groups to help nurture and further develop. At times it can be a lonely and isolated road for owners of SMEs/ stakeholders and this is a chance for them to access expertise, guidance and business advice. Small businesses and social enterprises are important contributors to the recovery and future prosperity of the economy. Their survival and growth not only brings investment returns for individual businesses/social enterprises, it also underpins the wider local community and the image as a provider of high quality, innovative and sustainable business excellence. Since bizmentors® was established in May of 2012 over 1,000 businesses, social enterprises and community groups have participated in the programme. To read their stories please click here.
