Business Mentoring Service

Practical support to help you move your business forward

Running a business can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. Sometimes it helps to have an experienced, independent person to talk things through with.

Bass Coast Shire Council has partnered with NEX to offer free one-on-one business mentoring to Bass Coast businesses.

Whether you’re working through a challenge, looking for ways to grow or simply want a fresh perspective on your business, a NEX mentor can help you take a step back, explore your options and work out your next steps.

What can we talk about?

Your mentoring session is tailored to you and your business. You might want help to:

Grow your business – explore opportunities and develop a clear plan for growth
Work through a challenge – talk through an issue and get an independent perspective
Improve your finances – better understand cash flow, business finances and funding opportunities
Plan for the future – prepare for succession, selling your business or your next chapter
Build a strong team – attract, manage and retain the right people
Work smarter – find ways to improve business efficiency and reduce everyday pressures
Find better balance – manage the demands of running a business and create more time for yourself

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you book. Come along with a question, an idea, a challenge or simply a desire to improve your business.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Sessions are free and confidential and are delivered one-on-one with an experienced NEX business mentor.

Appointments are available during the day and early evening, with the option to meet face-to-face or online, making it easier to fit mentoring around your business.

There are a limited number of free appointments available each month.
