Back for Business 4 Testimonials

Everyone on the programme is operating at max bandwidth so the Back for Business teams patience and consistent reminders were genuinely critical to making sure we all got the most out of the programme. My Lead Entrepreneur really helped me focus on my vision for the business, which enabled me to fine-tune my strategy.

-Alva Horgan, LoanGuru Business Finance

I would highly recommend the Back for Business programme for anyone that is eligible and wants to get their business off the ground. The roundtable sessions were very valuable and helped me get clear on my goals for the business. Also the feedback I got from the Lead Entrepreneur and the other group members was brilliant as it allowed me to see blind spots that I couldn’t recognise because I was so immersed in the business.  I’m very grateful to have been given the opportunity to be part of this programme and it has definitely given me more clarity and direction with the future of my business.
