Our Team
Andy Palmer
Andy Palmer B.Juris (Hons), LLB (Hons) (UWA), Barrister and Solicitor of Supreme Court of
Western Australia.
Andy Palmer has created the BusinessMentor.com.au vision and since 1998 has molded the
project into what it is today.
Andy has substantial experience in the areas of corporate management, market development,
offshore structures (as in house Counsel to Cultus Resources NL a subsidiary of the Fay
Richwhite Group), financial tracing (he assisted (now) Chief Justice Brian Martin, QC during
the WA Inc Royal Commission in 1991) and the development of small companies (the Exploration
Company in the USA being a prime example).
Over the past eight years, Andy's main focus has been to find a mechanism to deliver to
small business owners comprehensive advice and products in a range of different areas in both
a cost and time efficient manner. These areas include law, accounting, marketing and business
management services. This passion has led to BusinessMentor.com.au.
Andy now focuses on client development and developing new products.
Our goals are simple. Understand our client's business, carry out a review of
that business to diagnose potential weaknesses, meet with management to plan the next step. Weaknesses can in many cases be quickly solved using the
wide range of documents and services offered by BusinessMentor.com.au.
If there are any unresolved issues, they will be dealt with using more traditional (legal
and commercial) services.
