Business Mentoring & Advisory

Our mentoring service provides small business owners and startup founders with practical, personalised support that combines advisory, coaching, and accountability to help them make confident, strategic decisions and drive real business growth.

Real support for business owners and founders

Running a business can be rewarding, and relentless. When every decision falls on your shoulders, it helps to have someone experienced in your corner.

Our mentoring offers practical, real-world support for small business owners and startup founders who want clarity, structure, and accountability as they grow. This isn’t generic coaching, it’s a blend of business advisory, mentoring, and strategy grounded in experience.

Whether you’re refining your offer, managing growth, tackling burnout, or figuring out what’s next, we help you make confident, well-informed progress.

How it works

Every mentoring session is tailored to your goals, but common areas of focus include:

1. Clarifying your offer or revenue model

2. Developing growth or pivot strategies

3. Reviewing operations, systems, or pipelines

4. Building time, energy, and decision-making habits

5. Navigating hiring, leadership, or burnout challenges

6. Working through those “what do I do next?” moments

It’s about creating space to think clearly and move forward with purpose.

Who it's for
  • Small business owners juggling multiple roles
  • Startup founders looking for clarity and confidence
  • Sole traders refining their systems or shifting direction
  • Purpose-driven or regional founders seeking values-aligned support
  • You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just be ready to work through it with someone who gets it.

    We support small and mid-sized businesses, startups, and organisations building innovation, education, or support programs. Our mentoring suits both service-based and mission-driven founders.
