Research has proven that small businesses who access mentors have a much higher success rate than those businesses who choose to “go it alone”.

Mentoring can deliver significant economic benefits from just a small commitment of time and resources. Building a relationship with a mentor can have a positive effect on your business, whether you are just starting up or are already established.

Many small businesses look for mentors who have expertise in functions such as finance, sales and marketing, public relations, and strategy and planning.

B2BBS are specialist Mentors and we realise the different needs of business, and also what suits one business owner, may not necessarily suit another.

Mentoring in business refers to a relationship between an experienced businessperson (the mentor) and a business owner or employee (the mentee). It can be used at all stages in the business life-cycle and offers benefits to both mentors and mentees. 

As a business owner, you may choose to have a mentor for yourself or for your staff. Through mentoring you can develop your business skills, which can help you achieve success earlier than you may have on your own. 

Through the Inner Circle Mentoring we have developed a number of different Mentoring programs to suit even the most time-strapped employer or employee:

•One-on-One Mentoring

•Micro Mentoring (which comprises 4 – 5 participants only, with similar issues)

•Mentoring by Design – where we tailor the mentoring to suit your specific needs in both time and situation

•Brainstorming and Mind Mapping are similar to the Micro Mentoring program in that we have no more than 4 – 5 participants  … this program is proving particularly powerful for entrepreneurs wishing to share their ideas to peers.
