Business Mentoring

After successfully winning this competitive tender in 2015 we went on to successfully deliver this Mentoring Harrow" program, on behalf of Harrow Council for 3 years. From April 2018 we have managed and financially subsidized the scheme.

The simple idea of this scheme is to deliver business support to entrepreneurs in a cost-effective but practical way.
Therefore, we have recruited a pool of experienced but successful business owners, business professionals and coaches who are willing to give a minimum of six hours of their time to help support entrepreneurs starting or wishing to grow/scale their businesses.  In addition, London Business Partnership will also offer successful applicants another two hours of 1:1 business support. All of this for a small fee of £150.

NB We now accept applications from entrepreneurs who are not based in Harrow.
