May 2008
Accelerating your Business Growth Our speaker at April's Ladies that Lunch was Sally Goodsell, Chief Executive of Finance South East who talked about growing your business through investment. Sally told us that women often start businesses with a third less capital than men. Our businesses grow slower, but often last longer. The government has a target of 10,000 more women owned businesses in the next 10 years and recently established a specialist fund of £12.5M to support that growth. In the south east 15% of all businesses are owned by women and Sally is committed to increasing that substantially. Also, Finance South East run a number of specialist programmes for women entrepreneurs (and men too!) and Sally's advice to get investment is (and she can offer you support on this): For May's LTL, we're giving you some great techniques for networking in mixed company. Our speaker John Donnelly will be showing us how to Network in a Man's World. You'll walk away with tools such as how to win access to elusive decision makers, how to get treated seriously every time and at all levels and much more. To come along please book online or contact me direct.
