Mentoring Support

12th July 2011

 A new website has been launched that will provide small business owners with access to a range of experienced mentors. The initiative is a replacement for the face-to-face services provided by Business Link, which is in the process of being wound down by the Government.  Mentorsme connects companies with mentoring organisations that can support and guide their growth.

The scheme, managed by Barclays Bank, HSBC, Lloyds, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Santander, is aimed at both start-up businesses and more established firms with growth plans. It aims to help those struggling with common hurdles such as finance and marketing. http://www.mentorsme.co.uk
