We’ve made a bold commitment to supporting women in the UK in starting and running their own businesses. We have set ourselves the target of helping 100,000+ female-led businesses start out by the end of 2023.
This stand is in response to Alison Rose’s Review of Female Entrepreneurship, which found:
Welcoming 100,000 female-led businesses to Tide by the end of 2023
Tracking and reporting on female entrepreneurs using Tide
Organising initiatives and events to support women in opening their own businesses
We surveyed 1,000 women who work for themselves, to learn more about their motivations for starting a business, the challenges they can face and the opportunities available to boost their businesses.
We’re using this data to identify how we can best support women in starting out in business, but it also makes interesting reading.
These insights will help us ensure we’re providing the right kind of support and initiatives to empower women in business.
