Specialised start-up business support for women
Women in many cases have different challenges to starting a business, that are not addressed by mainstream business support. For example, issues around childcare, confidence and self-esteem. At Enterprise Exchange we are very aware that many women dream of running their own business and have inspiring ideas, but for various reasons, they have barriers to face and hurdles to get over and this can stop women even thinking about starting a business.
We have extensive experience of working with women. Many of our successful clients are women from different backgrounds.
What we offer
Workshops
Our workshops are for women needing support to start up a new business. Our support is practical, non-academic and is focused on confidence and self-esteem, as well as the technical skills for starting up in self-employment.
The three workshops run over three days and cover an introduction to self-employment, business planning and sales and marketing. They are a chance for like-minded people to come together to plan their new businesses and set up their own networks.
Workshops can be tailored for each group and we can vary the content to make it relevant.
One to one meetings
These give individuals the chance to talk through their ideas in a supportive environment. We are able to look at issues of self-esteem, confidence and wellbeing, as well as business planning.
Follow up support
This continues once businesses get going. We have been involved with many people for whom starting their own business has turned their lives around and given them much more than just a regular income.
