Our areas of expertise
Business Advice and Business Resources
Whether you are starting up, scaling up or “selling up” your business or enterprise, our organisations and mentors will point you in the direction of the best and most relevant resources for you and will be able to give you practical, real life advice. We’re here to help you answer those questions you didn’t know who to ask or how. We’re ready to help you do business.
Business start up
Small businesses are the life-blood of the UK economy and our organisations and mentors can help you on the way to making your business idea become a reality. We have mentors from specialist organisations who are focused on helping and networking many different kinds of people, so there will be someone to advise you whatever your age, background or personal circumstances.
Business and Life
Sometimes the biggest challenges in our business lives are personal ones. Although you may often feel alone in this as it’s not always something that can be discussed in a purely professional meeting, it’s likely that many of the business mentors here on horsesmouth have been in similar circumstances to you. Here you can search for and find the right mentors to help you deal with the family, health and relationship issues that can stand in the way of moving forward and achieving success.
Why we're on horsesmouth
We want to widen access to our own services through helpful and positive social networks like horsesmouth. We also believe that entrepreneurs and business people have much to gain from each other and from people who have “been there and done that” before them. So we want to encourage and support people to ask each other for personal and practical help in this safe online environment . We think everyone has something to give and gain.

I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
well what a geat website! in all honestly, i basically typed in "agony aunts online" while on a down day just expecting some upbeat optimism on the computer, and came across this site. it is so much better than just reading a passage on a website, to actually talk to REAL people for honest advice and listening about particular subjects rather than a general overview.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who replied to one of my recent shout outs about forgiving - every message was useful and some very helpful indeed! It really feels good to know other people understand how i've been feeling, and to know there are people not far from me to help! Thanks so much, and everyone please don't hesitate to get in touch if I can help anyone with any problem you may be having xxx
