What does the programme entail?

Growth Mentoring is a fully funded programme where your business is matched with a successful businessperson who’ll support you to tackle the challenges that you are facing in managing and growing your business. These challenges could include business planning, finance, sales, marketing, exporting or human resource management.

Following an initial review, we will identify your business and personal goals and match you with a suitable mentor based on your sector, personality profile and goals. You choose how you want the support to be delivered; one-to one or in a group, where and when, and how frequent.

The mentor will share their knowledge, experience and skills to help you develop your own Growth Action Plan. They will then work with you to put the plan into action and address any barriers that may arise.

Working with a mentor helps you take focused time out to work on the business, rather than in the business, developing a growth strategy and clear business development goals.
