About this event

As longstanding supporters of Women in Business we understand the various challenges that women might face when setting up or running their business, and our goal is to make a positive difference to women in business across the UK through our Business Builder and Accelerator programme and our Women in Business Specialists who provide tailored support for women looking to start up and grow their business, no matter what their size or sector.


As the largest supporter of UK businesses, we champion anyone starting or growing a business, with a specific focus on women and those from ethnic minority communities.
NatWest is a business that understands when customers and people succeed, communities succeed, and the economy thrives. As part of our purpose, we are looking at how we can drive change for our communities in enterprise, learning and climate. As one of the leading supporters of UK business, we are prioritising enterprise as a force of change. This includes focusing on the people and communities who have traditionally faced the highest barriers to entry and figuring out ways to remove these. Learning is also key to their continued growth as a company in an ever changing and increasingly digital world.

Detailed research found that the biggest opportunities to help female entrepreneurs fell into three areas:
1. Increasing the Funding directed towards them.
2. Greater family care support
3. Relatable and accessible mentors and networks.
Yet, despite more women setting up and scaling up in business the disparity between men and women starting businesses remains and the latest research shows that women in business are still not getting their fair share of funding.

Join us to cowork and network; the kettles on.

Bring your laptop or device to get some work done, we'll provide the wifi and the biscuits!
