What’s the point of mentors that can’t give advice?

Please take a look at the article below – I totally endorse the UKBA‘s view on this.

Whilst I can understand the concern of 1,000s of ‘Government’ mentors giving out advice that may end up not being the best advice and then who is responsible for the liability of that; I cannot see the point of having someone visit a business that needs help and may be struggling and the mentor cannot advise the business what to do!

Begs the question then, “What are the mentors going to do with these businesses and how are they gong to help.”

What do you think?
