Experts in entrepreneurship to support women into business

3rd December 2020
Women wanting to explore and equip themselves for the world of entrepreneurship are being offered free advice and support via a series of new webinars.

Starting next week, the sessions aim to encourage women who aspire to become their own boss in a way that fits around their own lives.

Chwarae Teg will run the sessions, which are supported by Welsh Government, on the 9 and 16 December from 11am-1pm and on 17 December from 11-12.30pm. Each will focus on a different aspect of setting up and running a business.

Consultant, Sarah Rees will facilitate the first two sessions, having supported hundreds of women across Wales to find work and realise their career goals. Her webinars ‘Could I be a business woman?’ and ‘Is there an idea in me?’ will be practical sessions looking at transferable skills and motivations, and guiding participants through the process of turning a seed of idea into an action plan.

Women have great business ideas but often lack the confidence to make them a reality or feel they don’t have the time as they often bear the brunt of caring responsibilities. I want these sessions to help women see what they can achieve and help them on their way to getting there.

Consultant

The final session – ‘Financing your business’, will be facilitated by Carla Reynolds, Business Wales, who supports aspiring entrepreneurs to set up and grow their businesses.

I want to reassure those interested in running their own business that practical support is available through Business Wales to get their idea off the ground. Whilst finance is often a big fear and a barrier for many, there is expert advice available and access to funding.

This series of webinars will help women find out what it’s really like to run a business, figure out ideas, develop confidence, ensure they have the money bit sorted and have the practical knowledge to take their first steps.
