Brave appeals for new business mentors
BRAVE Enterprise in Bristol is seeking experienced business people to mentor Bristol’s growing number of aspiring entrepreneurs.
The not-for-profit business support organisation advises people on launching their own business and includes mentor support to help them through the early start-up stages.
The call comes as BRAVE secures a new contract to continue delivering the New Enterprise Allowance scheme locally.
Liz Sands, director of BRAVE Enterprise, said: “We are looking for friendly, committed business people who can give up a small amount of their time to support people who have a great business idea that needs developing. The role is potentially very rewarding and could make a huge difference to someone’s chances of success.
“Many of the people we help are unemployed. They will have some experience and skills but may lack confidence to know what to do next. They need someone to give them guidance about how to get started in business and provide encouragement. That’s where you can help.”
For an informal discussion about becoming a BRAVE mentor, contact Liz Sands on 0117 314 4614.
