Women in Business
Women in Business
Introduction from Caroline Flint MP
As a South Yorkshire MP, I take particular pleasure when I meet women entrepreneurs - women who have taken the bravest of steps to invest their time, energy and sometimes their savings, to try something new.
South Yorkshire has too few people willing to run a business - to take a risk - and launch into the world of commerce. Yet we know that nearly half of all new jobs will be created by small businesses.
And we know that women who work often juggle childcare, caring and running a household as well. Without doubt, there are many women with the skills to run a business. They are an army of untapped potential in South Yorkshire.
The Women and Business section of this website could unlock the door to the many women who want to start, but also want the advice, the support and the networks we all rely on when doing something for the first time.
This website can and should give you the confidence to take the next step.
It is a pleasure to support this launch.
