Our small business community is made up of all kinds of entrepreneurs, and we’re dedicated to supporting every single one – especially those who have extra hoops to jump through. That’s why we work with women at each step of their journey to help them take their business wherever they want to go.
We give advice on everything from start-up basics to detailed growth plans and funding options – speak to one of our Local Business Managers in store to find out more.
The Investing in Women Code is a commitment made by companies in the finance industry to make it easier for female entrepreneurs to access resources and funding, so we can create a business environment that helps more women succeed.
An independent review by Alison Rose in 2019 found that:
We signed up to the Investing in Women Code because inclusion is a key part of our culture, and because we work with small business owners day in and day out. This puts us in a brilliant position to support and grow the female business community, and help turn these stats around.
