Are you a woman who has started her own business? Are you thinking about starting a business? Presently there are about 620,000 majority women-owned UK businesses, and the good news is that more and more women are expected to start their own businesses over the coming ten years. In fact, according to business community network Everywoman, the number should accelerate by 100,000 over the next decade.
Everywoman is working with the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) in its Real-Life campaign helping businesses overcome the challenges they face. Both organisations are pressing for a target to be given to increase the amount of female entrepreneurs. In addition, Everywoman has started Modern Muse, a project that will see hundreds of Britain’s female leaders inspire the younger female generation. It's hoped that this will encourage more women to become entrepreneurs.
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) will be launching it Real-Life Entrepreneurs campaign, which will be encouraging the coalition to enact policies that will bring about tangible improvements for the economy and job growth. This follows the recent reports showing slow growth and unemployment on the up.
