Hi all,

I have an idea which I am confident will succeed. Basically - to cut a long story short I need some kind of mentor to help me plan and structure my approach to an official launch. It's the first time I've done a lot of this stuff: Business Plans/ Investment/ Accounts/ Setting up LTD companies etc.

I have contacted the Princes Trust and am awaiting feedback - are there any other organisations that could help me?

Thanks all

Business Links are good for this sort of thing, and see if you have a local Enterprise Agency.

Is this for the carrier bads, Mark?

YOu should get yourself along to some networking events - you'll soon start meeting people that will be of use to you.

I've got my next one that I'm arranging in Moorgate on March 1st, go and sign up at www.trustnetworkers.com if you want to be invited. I can introduce you to a few people hat should be able to put you on the right track.

If it's an internet thing, as opposed to the carrier bags then come along to http://theglasshouse.net/sct/

Duane.

as duane mentioned, networking both online and offline is really valuable for picking up ideas and getting help

are there any specific areas you need in help in? might be a little easier to know where to point you - or is is just a blanket "i need help" sort of thing?

like everyone else on the forums, i am happy to help wherever i can

:D
