How to mentor new entrepreneurs in your small town

Take this idea from Scotland. After a year of studying what businesses in their area actually need, this mentoring project was designed and launched.

Mentors from the local business community will be recruited to help support people who are thinking of setting up in business in the area. Enterprise visits will also be co-ordinated to help spread good ideas and share best business practice in rural areas.
