Düsseldorf
I'm launching a catering business in Düsseldorf next December. 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 six 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Rooting for you, Marlene. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

    • You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Düsseldorf

      • Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Leicester.
