Most entrepreneurs can attribute part of their success to the influence of a business mentor. Keith Richardson recalls:

“The most difficult part of succeeding is believing that you can succeed. A good mentor is invaluable when you are starting out. The most significant advice given to me by my mentors, that has served me well in growing my businesses, is:

Communication is the key to success.
Understand your market and know your customers.
Always deliver what you promise.
Know your people and deploy them wisely.
Cash is king.

These principles have worked for me time and time again.

The South Devon Business Mentors are dedicated professional business men and women with years of collective experience.They have already negotiated the pitfalls and have the benefit of hindsight that every new business would value.

The fact that this service is available free through the Businesses Mentor Grant makes it irresistible to budding entrepreneurs!”
