I'm launching a bakery in Leeds next October. 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 bakery, willing to have a monthly call for the first three 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Gerald. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Small businesses are the heart of Leeds. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Take care
Hope this works out for you. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. After 26 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
