Following the success of the pilot Small Business Mentoring Program delivered in 2021, more spots are open to support and empower 10 business owners and start-ups in optimising their business. This mentoring opportunity will enable participants to take advantage of the economic opportunities arising from the Pioneer Valley Mountain Bike Trails Project.

Mackay Regional Council is funding this program to allow the mentoring to be offered free of charge to successful applicants.

To find out more about the pilot program and to hear success stories from your business community, watch this video.

The program is being offered to existing businesses as well as start-ups that have a business idea that will support the development of the Pioneer Valley Mountain Bike Trails destination.

The program has been designed to be virtual and will include a deep business assessment followed by five (5) one-on-one mentoring sessions tailored for your business needs. Supporting the mentoring journey, mentees will have access to a suite of practical workshop style webinars, tools and resources as well as ongoing support from your mentor.
