Someone cold-called me from Jobserve or similar the other day asking if I'd like to do business mentoring as a franchise. I listened politely and asked the price. They wanted something like £30k to buy into ......what exactly? Some training ? A bit of advertising ?
I told them to get lost. Politely of course.

I came across this whilst doing research for my Plan B this morning.
The forum looks quite good too.

Originally posted by DanTheManThinking of my Plan B. I have, what I consider, a very good idea (natch). But it will involve a lot of different technologies and the cooperation of at least 1 or 2 established businesses. Being just a lowly IT contractor I'm not really up on the legal stuff behinf disclosing ideas (NDAs, etc) or how the hell to start the ball rolling - approaching companies, etc. A friend of a friend mentioned business mentors, those kind of services. Anyone here used one or know of anything like it?
