Where can I find a mentor to assist with starting an concierge/errand service business?

I am looking to start a concierge/personal assistant/errand service business. I need advice on how to start this business, secure funding, obtain licensing, and day to day operation ideas. Is anyone familiar with this type of business or can you provide information on small business start-ups?

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

* How to Start and Operate an Errand Service (Revised 2nd Edition) by Rob Spina
* Start Your Own Personal Concierge Service (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start Ups) by Entrepreneur Press
* The Concierge Manual, Second Edition by Katharine C. Giovanni

There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I enjoyed the program, and I have to say that I was lucky enough to have a real mentor like you. You have tonnes of experience in business and were able to give me great advice, especially when it came to advertising on the internet. I'm happy how it continues to turn up new clients. You've provided me with everything I could as for as a "mentor", I couldn't have imagined anything you could have done better. You got to my questions, you've applied your knowledge to help me and I sincerely appreciate your undying effort to help me! Thank you for your fine work, you've been a great help and I wish you good luck next year with your new set of students. I will be sure to keep in touch! Justin Beaudoin, Founder - MobiTek -
