I'm launching a catering business in San Francisco next November. I have saved the start-up funds myself, but I have never run a business before. I've questions about pricing, suppliers, simple bookkeeping, hiring and - frankly - how not to burn out.
I'm looking for a mentor with real small-business experience, ideally in a catering business, willing to have a monthly call for the first four months. I'll bring a list of questions and my numbers.
If you have a few hours a month, and enjoy helping someone avoid the mistakes you made, I'd really appreciate it.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
- effort
- 1 hour a month
- format
- Online or by phone

Sending strength, Amber. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Keep going, Amber. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Take care, Amber. Hope you make a strong comeback. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Take care, Amber. Small businesses are the heart of San Francisco. Hope you're open again soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Mansoura
rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
wishing you the best, Amber. Hope the shop reopens soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of San Francisco
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Mombasa
Stay strong, Amber. This could happen to any of us. All the best
Stay strong, Amber. This could happen to any of us. After 27 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Southampton
Small businesses are the heart of San Francisco. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Columbus this morning
Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of San Francisco.
