Why BizMentor: one-to-one with an owner who runs a construction company
Most programs run one standard system for many businesses at once. BizMentor works the other way round:
- Your mentor runs a construction company today. Sviat Jay runs Craftex, a London design & build contractor. BizMentor's main program is one-to-one mentoring with him (flagship, by application), remotely wherever you are. Smaller firms can start in a small group with regular one-to-ones.
- Built on your strengths. One owner is strong in sales, another in project management. Sviat finds what you are already good at and builds the business on it, so you and the company grow fast.
- About 4 months, not years. Built to deliver results within about 4 months, instead of coaching you for 1, 2 or 3 years.
- 5-star reviews on Trustpilot. Every review on our Trustpilot page is 5 stars.
Published results from this way of working (UK clients):
- Ghennadi, decorator £2K a month on the tools to £13.5K a month profit in 60 days.
- Oleg, 19, taper & jointer £100 a day on site to £7K a month profit from his own company in 2 months.
- Adam & Ali Stuck at £500K for 3 years, then £92K signed in 8 days and a £528K project, within 4 months.
Individual results, not typical or guaranteed.
