Startup Business Advice
Should I go out on my own?
Are you considering starting your own business? Have you started planning your first steps? Do you need someone with experience to use as a sounding board and to point you in the right direction?
The decision to go out on your own is a big one – and a great one! But what everyone lacks when they first start out is experience. Having experience in your speciality is key, but experience in the actual running of a business is just as important.
Alec Drew provides mentoring and coaching to businesses at all stages of development and having 40 years' of practical business management experience to rely on can save you years of failing and learning.
Alec Drew also hosts the weekly radio show “You and Your Business” on Dublin City FM.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important thing I should know about business?
All businesses whether small or large apart from scale are the same and can be broken into two parts. Firstly, the knowledge skills and experience they have to deliver a product or service and secondly, the business of running a business.
Large companies employ people with those skills whereas SME business owners have to outsource them as fits their budget. These skills include finance, HR, recruitment, marketing etc.
What is business coaching and mentoring?
As a mentor I will share my knowledge, skills and experience to help you develop and grow. As a coach I will provide guidance to help you with your goals.
Why is a written business plan important?
Every business person has a plan of some sort in their mind. They believe that they will remember to follow it through but unfortunately day to day tasks get in the way and so it fails to deliver.
A properly written business plan with clearly identified goals will provide clarity and help you get to your destination more quickly and with less stress.
Who is the 4 week accelerator programme aimed at?
This intensive programme is aimed at SME business owners and solopreneurs who are in business and would like to accelerate their growth.
Can I buy advice as I need it?
Yes, we can have a free consultation in confidence and without obligation to see if we are a fit. If you wish to progess after that there are number of packages to suit your budget and available time.
