THE Scottish Business Resilience Centre is accepting applications from North-east businesses for its free mentoring programme.
Scottish Business Cares aims to provide guidance around the various issues businesses are facing because of the Covid-19 outbreak.
While the collective initially launched with a series of webinars, the crux of SBC’s offerings is a one-to-one mentoring service for Scottish organisations who need more tailored support.
Jude McCorry, SBRC chief executive officer said: “Our mentoring programme is a fantastic opportunity for Aberdeenshire organisations to get immediate, specific support to overcome the challenges brought on to their operations by Covid-19.”
Belinda Roberts, founder of WeDO Scotland and SBRC member who runs the programme, added: “We are delighted our mentoring programme will help more Aberdeenshire businesses make a smooth recovery with guidance from experts in fields including frameworks to aid recovery, realignment of products and services, investment, legal and financial management, and grant funding.
“This programme will make a tangible difference to businesses and help bolster the Scottish economy on the road to recovery.”
The mentors are successful entrepreneurs and senior business leaders with previous experience of economic crises gained during the 2008 financial crash and a strong track record of business growth and success.
