West Midlands Business Link has added the Prince’s Trust (catering specifically for 16 to 30 year-old entrepreneurs), the Women’s Business Development Agency (WBDA) and Tribal’s Creative Launchpad (targeting the buoyant creative industries) to their list of providers.

Female Touch
The unrivalled experience of the Women’s Business Development Agency will be essential in increasing the number of female entrepreneurs in the West Midlands.

Utilising an expert team of advisers and a carefully tailored programme of workshops, personal development opportunities and ongoing mentoring, the specialist provider is already setting its sights on engaging with 200 women seriously looking at starting their own company.

“We are here to help female entrepreneurs overcome the barriers they face with women-friendly advice, training and support provided both on a one-to-one basis and through ‘West Midlands Woman’; the most comprehensive women’s business website in the UK,” pointed out Sally Arkley, Director of WBDA.

“This could be on any aspect of starting a new business, including initial planning, market research, raising finance and marketing the idea/product. We are also there after the launch and in the growth period, with all our services tailored to the needs and caring responsibilities of our clients.”

Sally is the driving force behind West Midlands Woman, who are providing comprehensive virtual and face-to-face regionwide business support, help, advice, mentoring and training for women wanting to start and grow their businesses.
