The National Business Mentoring Council was launched in July 2025. The private sector led Council, announced in the Government’s “Backing your Business: Our Plan for Small and Medium sized Businesses”, brings together organisations from across business mentoring, finance, entrepreneurship and academia. Its shared ambition is to help more businesses find the mentoring support they need to start, grow and thrive.

ABM is proud to Co-Chair the Council alongside the Scale up Institute.
