Accelerating Women's Enterprise
Sussex, Hampshire, and Isle of Wight
If you...
...worry about how you will make your business fit your life
...get anxious about the money or risk side of running a business
...want to know how to build your brand
...find marketing a mystery
...like the idea of getting to know other women just starting out
AWE is just what you're looking for!
We support women who:
face an additional barrier to starting and running a business AND
have a firm business idea and want help to get started, or
are at the early stages of starting a business or becoming self-employed.
A barrier could be one or more of the following (or something not mentioned below!):
A disability or physical or mental health condition
Being neurodiverse
Coming from a low-income household (for example, being in receipt of Universal Credit or another form of benefit)
Living in a deprived area
Having caring responsibilities
