Fresno
I'm launching a catering business in Fresno next August. 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 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Small businesses are the heart of Fresno. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.

    • Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Accra donated after I showed her your page.

      • Keep going. Hope you get there. Sent it to 26 people at work

        • Good luck, Benjamin. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

          • You're not alone, Benjamin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Envigado.
