Do you need help growing your small business or overcoming challenges? MTC’s Self-Employment Assistance is tailored to you. We offer Business Health Checks, Small Business Coaching and Advice, and Training and Business Planning to help take your business to the next level. Once you have registered, one of our experienced mentors will call to advise the best solution for your business.
Small Business Coaching and Advice
Our Small Business Coaching offers personalised one-on-one sessions with a Business Coach who will mentor you through any challenges and help get your business back on track. With 12 months of tailored mentoring and support, you’ll receive the guidance needed to run your small business successfully.
If ongoing coaching doesn’t fit your schedule, consider our Business Advice Sessions. These one-hour, one-on-one sessions with a business advisor provide targeted advice to help you manage your existing business effectively.
