SME Mentoring Services
Our services during this period have been delivered virtually, complying with COVID 19 Government requirements using the most common virtual platforms.

- Business survival – setting objectives and direction for your business and identifying new opportunities
- Market transformation – developing more effective marketing strategies and identify new products and services
- Digital literacy and engagement – identify new online strategies and tactics to diversify and attract new customers and markets
- Market and supply chain diversification – create smarter ways of doing business and building efficiencies in your operation
- Reskilling and retraining – plan and identify areas needed to grow skill and experience to help grow the business
- We are acutely aware of the limitations of the virtual medium and modify the time and nature of our engagements accordingly, not to risk fatigue or loss of focus.
