RANDLA

MENTOR

For many small businesses, one of the main challenges is managing the functional and day-to-day elements of business life that don’t actually contribute to sales, but are essential for survival. For this reason, many owner managers have difficulty in finding time to stop and think about the bigger picture. It is also often the case that as your business grows, you move from areas where you are comfortable to more challenging environments - be they new markets or different competition.

For these and other reasons, having an independent viewpoint available to the management team can help steer a business around some of the more dangerous pitfalls of modern commercial life. Non executive directors (NEDs) and mentors are never a substitute for good, professionally qualified specialist advice, but they can provide a different perspective gained in other environments.

Getting external advice doesn’t mean that you have to make a board appointment, however. You may not need a permanent presence within the management team and looking at a specific problem on a project basis is also one of RANDLA’s areas of expertise, whether it’s a change in market dynamics - for example new competition; loss of a key person; a wish to cover manpower shortfall during a period of expansion or a new market opportunity you are not sure about.
