Pillar Two - Female-Friendly Business Support
The WETF wanted to ensure that every woman in every region has access to high-quality female-friendly business support from pre-pre start-up stage onwards. Women don’t always know what support is on offer, especially from the private sector, and varying quality of support has been an ongoing issue.
Business Link is a Government-funded service available locally across England that provides free information, advice and support needed to start, maintain and grow a business. For advice on starting, running or growing a business as a woman, please click here.
The Task Force is proud that Business Link is now accessed by roughly one million women per year, representing nearly one third of Business Link customers - up from just 10% in 2002.
