The Help into Mentoring programme has been designed to support 50 individuals in the old Copeland District Council area thinking about or looking to start their own business or young businesses in the early stages of trading.
Basic information on business idea/activity and what you expect to achieve from working with a mentor will be taken at initial enquiry. Details will then be shared with the mentor team who will decide who they are best placed to support and can offer the most value to.
All support is confidential between the mentor and the mentee – the only required submitted paperwork will be a mentor/mentee agreement, simple registration form and a personalised client journey.
