Mentoring for new business ideas

Clare: Theresa Mulvihill, managing director of Smart Marketing, has launched a new initiative called New Start, to help unemployed people become entrepreneurs.

The aim is to provide 10 months’ mentoring and expert advice on starting, building and developing a business. Mulvihill is providing these services free of charge for the remainder of 2011.

“I’m looking for people who are currently unemployed, but who are motivated and enthusiastic,” she said.
