Business mentoring for CIC/social enterprise

I have been looking into business mentoring but Google keeps finding companies who want to charge an absolute fortune for mentoring. Is there anyone out there who offers free/low cost mentoring to social enterprises?

    Sounds like you'd want a sector specialist anyway, the economics of for profit companies may be different. Are there other charities or companies in your sector you can turn to for peer support?

    No, we're in a fairly small sector & could really do with some advice from someone with more of a business perspective, i.e. making a social enterprise function in a way that generates money (obviously not to distribute) rather than focussing only on the 'working for free' aspect which is what tends to be the discussion centres around.
