Business Mentoring Scheme

Our Business Mentoring Scheme works with the rich and diverse entrepreneurial ecosystem in Guernsey. Giving startups the opportunity to tap into that network through structured mentorships. We match experienced business mentors with fledgling businesses to provide guidance and support on their new startup journey.
Local businesses looking to scale can access a mentor from our UK partners Blenheim Chalcot as part of the Scale Up Programme.

This new business mentoring scheme is a two-way development programme, helping both mentors and mentees grow professionally.
