Calling all female entrepreneurs, girl bosses and women business leaders!

Have you struggled to get the support you need to make your business successful? Or perhaps you need funding to support your growing business, but don’t know where to go?

On International Women’s Day, SWIG Finance & the Single Mums Business Network are joining forces to host an interactive virtual event to help female business owners overcome the challenges and obstacles they face.

During the event, you’ll hear from expert speakers who will cover the support facilities available as well as how you can access finance to grow your businesses.

You’ll also hear from inspirational female entrepreneur, Jules Hawkins, Founder of Single Mums Business Network, who will share her own experience as a woman in business.

The event will be split into two sessions. The first session will explore the forms of support available and how you can access them.

The second session will focus on what finance options are available and how you can apply.

This will be an interactive session with plenty of Q&A opportunities, we encourage you to share your challenges with us so that we can help you find practical steps to move forwards.

There will be a chance for networking after the second session where you can engage and connect with other like-minded businesswomen.

We will be announcing our speakers shortly.

About Single Mums Business Network
The Single Mums Business Network is to help single mums in the UK achieve and celebrate financial independence and flexible working for family.

The SMBN was set up as a direct result of Jules’ own adverse journey and having to find a way to start, sustain and grow her business without any access to mainstream funds; Jules wanted to create a support network that offered some support with business exposure for a nominal fee, whilst raising awareness of barriers that exist and campaigning to remove them.
