Become a business mentor

Build your leadership and management skillsets whilst supporting a business leader in need of advice and guidance.

Become a business mentor

Designed for busy people

The business leaders who sign up to our mentoring programme are all from established companies that have been trading for at least one year and have at least three full-time employees as we believe they will benefit most from an experienced mentor.

Backed by government, Be the Business Mentoring can be accessed as either a 12-week or 12-month model to suit your needs.
