Business Development Agencies
A Healthy Small Business Sector is Critical
Small business is a vital component of any community. It needs, deserves and gets support from Community Development Agencies like Members of Parliament, local government, Chambers of Commerce, Tourism and other industry bodies.
A Role for Agencies
A critical role for these agencies is networking their members into opportunities to improve their business’ health.
That’s why MentorsME values the help of local agencies to identify local business that will benefit
from our not-for-profit volunteer business mentors and introduce us to each other.
Why Matchmaking is Important
Local Development Agencies know local businesses benefit from being introduced to services they are unaware of.
More Opportunities
Whether they use those services is up to the small business
Reduce Missed Support
But if they don't know the opportunity exists, they will surely miss out.
Stronger Local Economy
Connecting the demand and supply of services is a vital, and valuable, agency role.
What We Offer Business Owners
MentorsME (Mentors Small and Medium Enterprise) is a not-for-profit that offers the mentoring services
of experienced, volunteer, business people to your local businesses.
Help us to help your local business by mentioning the availability of affordable business mentoring in your communications
with your community business sector.
Direct them to the "Get a Mentor" page
on this website so they have the opportunity to respond to a service they might not otherwise be aware of.
Support for Local Mentor Groups
If your community is fortunate enough to have, or would like to have, a local volunteer business mentoring group
offering a face-to-face mentoring service to local businesses, we also offer backend support for their
admin and marketing and their legal and insurance cover.
This frees the local group up to offer more service to the local business community
To open a discussion on these services, please ask the local parties to contact us on reception@backstop.business
