How much does a Business & Marketing Mentor cost?
Business mentoring in the UK typically ranges between £100 and £500 per hour, depending on the type and depth of support.
My rate starts at £200/hour for one-off sessions.
5 hours package £900 - Pay-as-you-go.
10 hours package £1,600 - Pay-as-you-go.
My availability for mentoring is intentionally limited. I partner with only a small number of leaders at a time, so every session gets my full attention and is impactful.
The real question now is: What’s the cost of staying stuck for months?
