These measures included:
1. Fully funding apprenticeships for young people in small businesses.
2. Establishing a task force to increase private investor funding in women-led businesses.
Professional business mentoring is an important part of the business ecosystem.
The Association of Business Mentors (ABM) supports the UK Government's Help to Grow Management Course by providing 10 hours of free mentoring to SME leaders through its members.
Full members of the ABM are all highly qualified business coaches and mentors.
We also have the lived experience of founding, managing, and growing our own businesses.
Naturally, we take mentoring seriously but as you can see we like to have fun too!
You can learn more about professional business mentoring from Chris Dunn Consulting here.
Further details on yesterday's Business Connect Conference can be found on the UK Government's media channels.
