"Why learn from your own mistakes in business, when you can learn from someone else's!?"

The Rockstar Mentoring Group is the UK's Number 1 mentoring organisation for business owners looking to grow or raise finance. Since its establishment in 2007, our mission has been to help businesses at the SME
level, Established and Start Up level, fast track their sales and profit growth by providing experienced and successful mentors on a one to one, face to face basis. We work with all types of businesses to acheive a measurable goal over a fixed time perod. We call this REAL Mentoring.

With over 60 mentors to choose from, covering more than 25 different industries Nationwide, Rockstar mentors are all successful business owners who are passionate in helping other businesses achieve their growth objectives.

Within our mentor group, the average mentors has started, grown and sold on a company for £18 Million!! But the great thing is, they ALL love working with start up businesses right up to large SME's.

Founded by Jonathan Pfahl, an ex-Goldman Sachs Wealth Manager, Rockstar have built a phenomenal team of mentors, successful in their own right but capable of passing on that success to other businesses.

We are very particular as to who joins us as a mentor as we want to make sure ALL of our customers are seeing REAL Results in their business. To do so, we believe a mentor must be speaking from REAL LIFE experience in starting, building up and in nearly all of our mentors cases, selling them on.

Our Ethos at Rockstar is to take our mentees businesses to levels they couldnt have imagined by partnering them with an individal who, from first hand experience, can show them how to do it, as they have already done it themselves!

And the best thing is....

We are cheaper than your most junior member of staff and are focussed on making a strong return on your investment!

The key benefits of having a mentor in your business are:

Experience: Learning from the experience and mistakes of more experienced business owners.
Guidance: Having a mentor guide you through achieving the objectives of your business, both short and long term.
Contacts: Leveraging off their contacts to help open new doors for your business.
Accountability: Mentors make sure that the goals and objectives that have been set in your business are achieved.

The mentoring packages that Rockstar provide are very structured and aligned to businesses at different levels. Clients can choose from 2 hours with their mentor per month up to 2 full days. The timeframe decided comes down to what the goal is and what time both parties feel will be needed.


We then tailor your mentoring requirments around the challenges your business is facing and the help you require. The table below shows how we align those requirements. As you will see, regardless of the size of your business the 3 pillars that all business owners need to have strong hold of is its sales, its finance and its operations.





So whether its specific help you need with Sales (which included sub sections like marketing, PR, product awareness), Finance, Operations, Margin, Brand or Exiting your company, Rockstar have the mentor for you no matter what sector you are in.

This diagram is the model used to help Rockstar tailor its mentoring program for you. In your initial session with your mentor, it needs to be clearly outlined as to what areas of your business that you require help with. Based on the challenges that you currently face, your mentor will explain how to overcome those challenges, then set objectives and time frames to overcome those challenges. You then work together over that time frame to achieve it.

Mentoring is a very personal business and having the right mentor on board is absolutely vital. So please do
contact us now for help in finding the best mentor for your business. The video below features Rockstar MD Jonathan Pfahl explaining how Rockstar Mentoring works and how to choose the best mentor for your business.

Testimonials from current and previous Rockstar mentees:

“The SME mentoring package works very well for me as it has allowed me to gain huge insight and knowledge from a entrepreneur more experienced than me, without the expectation of a large salary, a place on the board and instant equity. It was much more cost effective and more beneficial than the so called ‘traditional’ route of gaining such knowledge.” Mike Watkins, Rockstar SME mentee and MD of Multifurnish Ltd.

"As an Established Level Mentee, I have found Rockstar's service and process to be invaluable. As a Director of a business seeking equity investment the advice and support in preparing our investment proposal has been first class. Their mentoring process has given us the confidence needed to drive the business to the next level." Chris Bevan, Rockstar Established Mentee & Director of FAIISE

“When I first came to Rockstar, all I had was a business idea that I thought would work but had never run a business before. 6 months on, thanks the guidance of my mentor, my business is up and running, growing and Rockstar themselves have backed me.” Saad Raja, Rockstar Start Up mentee and founder of Vidstar Recruitment.

Rockstar Mentoring is about establishing a key objective to be achieved between mentor and mentee over the course of their time together, which is usually 12 months (but can be tailored to suit shorter time frames). Then working on a monthly basis to achieve it.
