Is there a successful entrepreneur or just a business man in general who could read through my business plan?

I just need a little support and advise.

Check first among your own network if you or someone you know knows a successful business owner who could spend time with you discussing your business plan

Or go to places that offer mentorship services such as

- Government Mentoring Programs such as SBDCs, which works with community colleges and local business development councils to offer mentoring programs http://www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html ; or the Women’s Network for Entrepreneurial Training http://www.sba.gov/womeninbusiness/wnet_roundtables.html

- Volunteer programs such as SCORE http://www.score.org which is composed of mostly retired executives and entrepreneurs

- Formal mentoring programs such as Athena Foundation http://www.athenafoundation.org/programs/globallinks.html , Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentoring Program http://www.helzbergmentoring.org/HEMP/ , or The Aspen Institute MicroMentor Program http://www.micromentor.org

- Professional organizations such as the National Women’s Business Council http://www.nwbc.gov/Mentoring/programs.html

Go to SCORE. It’s a U.S. government supported agency that provides free help to business people from retired business people who volunteer.
