Business Advisement Services

Mentoring and Advisement Program

CBI Mentors are highly skilled and experienced business professionals, either retired from the corporate world or currently active in business. They have expertise in manufacturing, production, and services in both profit and non-profit environments. They have volunteered to help support your business and share lessons learned to ensure that you have the best foundations for your success.

Mentors work closely with a single CBI company sharing their experience, a concerned ear, networking possibilities and suggestions in their area(s) of expertise. A mentoring team may be developed for an assigned client so that at least one volunteer is available at times when the other cannot. This shared teamwork makes it easier to meet with a client monthly and provides an opportunity to offer a client a consistent schedule of contact. Mentoring teams may also be formed to help cover a broad range of specialty skills that a start-up company may need. Mentors are expected to meet with their assigned client at least once a month in person and be in contact by any other means in the interim. Conditions for mentoring are flexible.
