What do the owners of a mechanical repair business, café, dry cleaner, charcoal chicken shop, physiotherapy studio, restaurant and a florist have in common?
Answer: They are amongst the more than 100 business owners who have signed up to free business mentoring with Realise Business Advisors over the past year.
Many of the business owners who meet with Realise Business Advisors have extensive experience in owning and running a business. But in a fast-paced world, the challenges of an evolving market can be somewhat daunting and difficult to navigate and make the most of the many opportunities ahead.
