The BUSINESS LIFE Start-up offers
The Business Start Up option based on the BUSINESS LIFE CD comes in one of two forms:
- The BUSINESS LIFE CD, by itself, which costs £25 exclusive of VAT
- The BUSINESS LIFE CD with one or two mentoring sessions. Each face to face mentoring session by an experienced BUSINESS LIFE MENTOR can be paid for separately and costs £95 excluding VAT. There are two types of mentoring session, which are:
- A session with a BUSINESS LIFE mentor who you can "bounce" your ideas against before you have set them down into a business plan. Of course we would expect you to have thought a bit about your idea first and we will ask you to come prepared by sending you a few straightforward questions beforehand. This completely confidential session is designed to help you think through the different routes you could take to implement your idea and make it both viable (you can pay for all the costs you incur with an appropriate reward left over for yourself) and sustainable (you can continue being viable long into the future). You are very likely to be surprised, and hopefully delighted, by the ideas that emerge from this session.
- You submit your draft business plan to your mentor who will have spent time working through it before you arrive. In a totally friendly, helpful and confidential way you will discuss your ideas and plans with your mentor who will use their experience to help you to identify and face the key issues that will need to be addressed if your plan is to become a success in reality. In our experience it is a highly rewarding experience for just about everyone and we would be surprised if you did not emerge from the session feeling you had gained a great deal. If you are going to opt for just one mentoring session then this is the one to go for.
- The BUSINESS LIFE CD plus one mentoring session costs £124 excluding VAT but if you purchase both mentoring sessions from the start then a discount is applied so that the total package is £190 excluding VAT. We offer a guarantee on all mentoring sessions that we will reimburse the mentoring fee if you have not found the session helpful.
