Mentoring

Company Rescue

 

We have established the Company Rescue Team (CRT) to assist distressed companies, and support them through their crisis.

 

High quality, free advice is given by a group of volunteers who are experienced and successful business people. They focus on facilitating a positive resolution of the issue causing stress and distress, and assist in making informed business decisions, often working with the banks, Inland Revenue Department and other financiers.

  

 

If you are a distressed business needing assistance, or for more information about the Company Rescue Programme, please contact Anita Keestra on (09) 262 7333 or anita.keestra@em.org.nz or Gaelle Deighton on (09) 262 2244 or gaelle.deighton@em.org.nz.

 

 

 

Business Mentors

                                        

 

When a small business is growing, or wants to accelerate its growth, one answer may be a mentor.

 

The Business Mentors New Zealand Mentor Service is provided to small businesses that have been trading for six months or more and have less than 25 employees.  A registration fee of $100 + GST will apply, which entitles you to use the mentoring service for two years.  This is the only cost to you – the mentoring you receive is free!

 

 

Mentors are committed individuals who derive satisfaction from putting their expertise back into the small business community.  Their skills are diverse and draw on practical business experience and expertise from a wide range of fields.

 

Mentoring can provide you with a sounding board for ideas, a solution to a specific issue, a fresh perspective or useful feedback.  Mentors are matched to your business needs and work one-on-one.  Whatever is said is treated in confidence

 

The duration of mentoring will depend on your business requirements, however, most situations can be resolved by three to five sessions.

 

For more information on specialist one-on-one coaching and guidance by mentors, telephone 0800 209 209 or go to www.businessmentor.org.nz.
