Breaking barriers for women in business.
Government research found only 15% of UK businesses are owned or led by women – a steep decline and the lowest that figure’s been since before the pandemic.
Let’s be frank, we know women face more barriers to starting a business than men. From securing funding to finding the right support network, the challenges are real.
And while tenacity, self-belief and drive are all vital ingredients, having what it takes isn’t all it takes.
That’s where Female Founders Rise comes in. It breaks down those barriers – empowering women with the resources, community, and support around funding options to succeed. The potential is huge, and together we can help women overcome barriers and take the lead.
