A newly launched series of business support tailored to the needs of aspiring female entrepreneurs has been launched by NEN Member MENTA Business Support across Norfolk and Suffolk.
The WoMenta project is aimed specifically at supporting aspiring female entrepreneurs by giving them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take the next steps towards starting their own business, or those who’ve recently started but have not had any formal support.
The programme includes training, 1:1 support and insights from female entrepreneurs sharing their experiences and top tips, as well as access to a wealth of other useful resources to help start, run, and grow a business.
MENTA is working with NatWest Business and able to offer the business support FREE of charge.
The blended training and support will be delivered across live online sessions as well as at events across Norfolk and Suffolk, the first two events will be in Felixstowe on September 5 @Inc on Hamilton Road from 5.30pm and September 6 at the Millennium Library in Norwich from 10.30am.
Each session includes an overview of the programme, the pros and cons of self-employment and will have a speech from Heidi Franklin, Director of award-winning business ‘Wild Play’, sharing her experiences of starting a business and the challenges women face.
Heidi of Wild Play Ltd said “There are challenges in life/work balance when working, let alone running a business, this programme of support has been designed by women for women and this project has already seen established female business leaders sign up to help and support the next generation of female business owners – just having a network of likeminded women is such a positive result.”
