Description
Small Business Mentoring Service Inc. (SBMS) is an independent, not-for-profit Association that started its journey in 1986 with just 14 members. Today there are over 150 Mentors across Australia who have the skills and experience to help small businesses.
The majority of small businesses, by their very nature, work IN their business at the exclusion of working ON their business. This is a well-used phrase but extremely apt and describes the vast majority of the businesses that we mentor. A Mentor can help you to work ON your business, challenging your perceptions and helping to resolve your issues.
Our Mentors have diverse and interesting backgrounds and have either owned their own small business or worked in an organisation that has had strong links to small business. They are extremely passionate about the role that small business plays in the economy and carry out their Mentoring work on a voluntary basis. They acknowledge that it can be difficult, lonely, and, at times, financially worrying running a small business.
When you book with SBMS, you will be able to view the background of relevant Mentors and select who you think would be most appropriate for your business needs. Swapping between Mentors is encouraged as and when the need arises, for example, to gain some specialist advice.
As Volunteers, they offer their assistance at low subsidised rates and seek to help you to make your business better. Sessions are available face-to-face or online.
