Would you like to speak to a real person about your business?

GrowBiz can provide you with a meeting with one of our Enterprise Facilitators or a Mentor, each provide a different type of feedback.

In your business journey you may use one or both of these services’ multiple times, or use both together.

This 2-minute questionnaire is designed to make sure you get the right support to meet your needs at this time. You are welcome to come back at any time, to re-do this self-assessment or ask for a different type of support.

For each choice make a note of which option you most identify with just now.

You would be best supported by a 1:1 meeting with one of GrowBiz’s Enterprise Facilitators. It may be a single meeting, or you may meet several times; your Enterprise Facilitator may refer to another expert or additional GrowBiz service.

These meetings are most productive if you arrive with your question or topic already thought out.

Email your details to connect@growbiz.co.uk and you could be meeting with your Enterprise Facilitator as soon as next week.

You would benefit from joining the GrowBiz Mentor Programme. If you chose to join the programme, you will attend an online induction session and then be paired with a Mentor (who will be a fully trained volunteer from the GrowBiz community). How often you meet, what you discuss and how long the relationship lasts is up to you and the Mentor, usually relationships last the duration of a project or business stage or till you’ve reached a specific goal.

You Mentor will not be able to tell you what to do, but will act as a sounding board for your ideas and offer a safe space to talk through whatever business aspects you would like. Discussions with your Mentor are confidential.

You may have to wait till the next induction event is held before you begin.

For more information about the Mentor Programme or to register your interest, email your details and state that you have completed this self-assessment to connect@growbiz.co.uk .

We’d recommend having a 1:1 meeting with one of our Enterprise Facilitators to discuss your needs and how GrowBiz can help. They may be able to answer some of your queries there and then; and will be able to help you decide what steps to take next and how to get the most appropriate support from GrowBiz.

Email your details to connect@growbiz.co.uk letting us know you’ve done this self-assessment, and you could be meeting with a Enterprise Facilitator as soon as next week.
