Business mentor network launched

A new network of volunteer business mentors, mentorsme.co.uk, has been launched by the British Government.

Mentorsme.co.uk is Britain's first online gateway for small and medium-sized enterprises looking for mentoring services.

The free site offers businesses access to a list of business mentoring organisations across Britain. A search engine allows businesses to refine their searches according to the life stage of their business and their location in Britain.<br.>

The site also allows business professionals to offer their services as a business mentor via the mentoring organisations listed. Aspiring mentors may want to work in a particular area of Britain and have a particular area of expertise to offer. Our search engine allows them to locate mentoring organisations that are the closest match to their profile.

Mentorsme.co.uk also aims to raise awareness about the benefits of business mentoring through its library of online resources, which includes articles about mentoring and case studies of successful business mentoring relationships.

Mentorsme.co.uk is operated by the Business Finance Taskforce, which has been set up by the British Bankers' Association and is made up of five banks: Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Bank of Scotland and Santander. The taskforce was established to help businesses access the finance they need to grow.
