Funded growth support for Lancashire Female Business Owners

By Dean

27 Jul 2016

Businesswomen in Lancashire in need of help to grow their company are being urged to apply for a place on an Autumn course to give them new skills.

RoleUK will be holding the Women Aiming Higher programme and have 15 fully funded places available on the course, which normally costs £500.

More than one million businesses in the UK are owned by women, creating a combined total of £75 billion economic output. Taking the UK as a whole, 20% of businesses are female owned and they create 16% of total economic output. The last 5 years have seen a 25% increase in the number of women setting up in business.

Lancashire is a great place to start and grow a business and RoleUK knows just how successful female entrepreneurs can be with the right support and guidance.
