Broking

Mentoring
From our many discussions with individuals looking to start their own business, one of the main points raised is "Can we mentor them, especially during the first year?". Well the answer is 'Yes". With years of experience behind us, we have probably come across the majority of hurdles, and we are delighted to impart this knowledge to any of our members.
