Whether you are thinking about starting a business in Pickering or you are already successfully trading, we would strongly advise you to consider finding a business mentor.
Even the most successful business people recognise that they do not know everything and that an impartial outside perspective can be invaluable. Unlike working for a company, as an entrepreneur, you do not have a boss to turn to or to ask for a second opinion. A good mentor will learn about you, your business, your strengths and weaknesses. This combined with their own wisdom and experience, will provide you with an ongoing support mechanism.
Business Starts provide a well-qualified and accredited business advisor to business owners who want to start, grow, access funding, manage projects and plan for success.
Some of our programmes are government backed and structured, others are independent, flexible and tailored to you.
Business Starts will not only help you access funding but will help you use and manage if for the best interests for your business.
Based in Birtley and Northallerton, we work with local clients across the North East and North Yorkshire, including Durham, Darlington, Northallerton, Hartlepool, Peterlee, Saltburn, Redcar, Thirsk, Bedale, Catterick and Harrogate.
We also work on government funded programmes across England, Scotland and Wales.
