Mentorship and coaching

No entrepreneur can do everything alone, and mentorship and coaching are valuable ways to get an expert’s advise on your business and its different stages of development. Mentors and coaches are often entrepreneurs themselves with a lot of years of experience that they can pass on to you. There are several options for getting in contact with both local and international business coaches and mentors in and outside of Rwanda. An important first step is for you to determine what kind of support and advise you need the most; to strengthen your business concept, improve your marketing and sales, financial management etc. There is always a mentor with the expertise you need to grow your business.
