Business Mentoring for Entrepreneurs
Empower your entrepreneurial journey with seasoned experts. Dive deep into tailored mentorship crafted for your business success.
A staggering 80% of startups fail within the first two years, not because of a faulty business model but due to inadequate market research and competitor analysis, resulting in weak business strategies and poor execution.
Professional advice is essential for business development, and statistics show that businesses seeking such advice are more profitable and successful.
SGI's Mentoring Service provides entrepreneurs a new way to access business mentoring and support through its membership program.
