LEO Business Mentoring: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Small business owners in Ireland can access professional mentoring to help develop their business strategy and grow their operations.
This program connects small business owners with experienced professionals to provide guidance on business strategy.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to any small business owner located in Ireland. If you are running a small business and are looking for external guidance to help manage your operations or plan for future growth, you may qualify.
What you get
You receive access to a professional mentor who provides expert business advice. These mentors are specialists who work with you to help refine your business strategy. This support is designed to help you navigate the complexities of running a business, providing you with a structured way to look at your long-term objectives and the steps required to achieve them.
What it costs you
There is a small fee to participate in the mentoring program. In addition to this cost, you will need to commit your own time to attend meetings and work through the strategic planning process with your mentor.
The catch to know
The most important thing to understand is that mentors are assigned based on their availability. Because mentors are not always immediately available, you should be very specific about your business needs during the application process. Clearly stating exactly what kind of support you require will help the office match you with the right person for your specific situation.
How to apply
- Identify the specific areas of your business strategy where you require professional advice.
- Contact your local office to inquire about the current availability of mentors and the specific costs involved.
- Follow the application instructions provided by the office to submit your request for a mentor.
