Mentoring
GrowBiz has been running an award-winning accredited mentoring programme for 10 years now, providing valuable training to mentors and matching them with clients who would like to be encouraged, motivated and challenged as they explore new plans and opportunities.
Mentoring provides a safe space in which to share ideas, questions and concerns, and is designed to help develop your self-belief and resilience, help you focus on your goals and unlock your full potential.
Advice
Meet with one of our friendly advisers and receive expert guidance on the topics that matter to you. Whether you’d like to create a business plan, develop a strategy, learn about marketing, or get your accounting software set up, we have someone who can help.
There will also be the opportunity to join GrowBiz events, such as in-person coffee mornings and online workshops. Increase your skills, make new connections, and have some fun…
Finance
Access to finance is still a major barrier for women-led businesses, so CairnGrow will aim to guide you through the process of identifying funding opportunities and successfully applying for these.
This may also include having effective financial management in place, and doing a cashflow to help you understand your income/costs.
Learning and Networking Events
This project is supported by the Ecosystem Pathways Fund
