Small Business Saturday Mentoring

At every stop on the 2019 bus tour the campaign will be delivering a mentoring programme. Sessions are free for small businesses. However, they must be pre-booked via the Bus Tour section of your My Small Business account. For further details on the mentoring programme please see Small Business Saturday’s Mentoring Info Pack.

Networking

Furthermore, at each stop on the tour there will be a one-hour speed networking session for small businesses. Sessions will run from 11am until midday. Attendees will be able to meet the campaign team as well as other small businesses and business experts. Campaign material and a “Take Me to A Small Business” coffee cup are also included.
