Darlene Kanuk Mentor

For the last 12 years I have been involved with an Entrepreneurial Assistance Center that holds a 60-hour program in the fall for small business start-ups and those that would like to expand. We provide this training at a very reasonable price and provide extra help (they call it technical assistance) for every client. It is the program goal to have the client learn all about small business start-up and creating a business plan. There is homework to do but it all works together to help the client create that plan for success for their business! Homework on entrepreneurship skills, exploring their target market, preparing a marketing plan, putting together all the necessary financial spreadsheets - yes, projecting sales and expenses. Knowing first if the business is feasible and worth starting up!

I would like to help entrepreneurs with their questions on start-ups and how to go about growing the business.

A back and forth with setting up a mentoring schedule inside of Business Mentor NY, sending emails and even having phone calls to better understand the business and the business owners goals.

Be themselves. What questions do they need answers to about business start-up, growing their business- what are their concerns?
