I want to talk about my business 

Sometimes, its just good to talk. Leading a business can be a lonely place so whether it's someone to bounce ideas off, act as a critical friend or hear you out while you talk through a problem - we know how valuable that can be. No outcomes required, no need for a plan - just an agreed time to talk about your business.

  • Requests for support will be circulated to supporters and Enterprise Works will identify and introduce you to the best matches. 
  • Sign to confirm your acceptance of the Advisor programme agreement
  • Complete the pre-meeting questionnaire outlining how you want the relationship to work
  • Meet with the supporter to talk through the questionnaire, and then about your business
