Women into business

More women than ever are choosing to become entrepreneurs. Today, there are close to one million women-owned businesses in the UK with a turnover of up to £1 million - that's one third of all small businesses!

There are also more resources than ever to help women get off to a flying start. Here you'll find everything you need to take the next step in the development of your business, whatever stage you are at.

If you're thinking of starting a business or have already started then the Women into Business Networking programme will help you through a series of practical business seminars and by providing access to business advisers and a network of like - minded people.

And if you feel you need support from those who have been there and done it already, then Business Mentoring could be for you.

If you're in any doubt about where you should be headed next, the Business Gateway can be used as a step-by-step guide to starting and growing your own business.  We can also help link you up with a wealth of other organisations, for example the Chambers of Commerce, funding bodies and a range of other useful resources.

If you prefer, pick up the phone and speak to a Business Information Officer on 0845 609 6611.

Good luck!
