The Consortium is a group of professional business mentors that provides business support services, like mentoring, workshops, training, consulting, grants and access to finance, that are all focussed on business growth.
How you can benefit from support from The Consortium.
Each member of The Consortium has personal experience in starting-up, operating and growing a business. This means that whatever your objectives are, we will have either personally shared the same goals, or have helped clients with similar goals. We’re strategic in our approach, and we bring tactical ideas to the table. Think of us as your critical business friends, here to guide and support you.
We always undertake a free, no-obligation, scoping meeting with you to ascertain your exact requirements.
