BWS Programme Growth

BWS are always searching for innovative and inventive ways to support women running their own enterprise, Business Women Scotland launched the Programme for Growth in 2019.
The aim is simple: to encourage entrepreneurs at the crucial growth stage of their business, boosting prosperity and ultimately creating jobs.
The three-day online course, helps women grow their businesses and, crucially, develop them to the next level. Running a business can be a lonely place and the growth stage is when it is easy to lose momentum. By bringing like-minded business owners together, Programme for Growth allows them to share experiences and opportunities. This is the ideal opportunity for women to take time out to work on their business, rather than in their business. By the end of the final seminar on day three, business owners have the exciting opportunity to present to a panel of specialists who offer bespoke business advice.
The entrepreneur can then go on to focus their efforts on the vital areas that have the best chance of success. The end result? Women moving forward confidently to expand their business.
It is the ideal opportunity to take some time out to work on your business, rather than in your business.
RESULTS
Boosting confidence and unlocking potential, The Programme for Growth now shows decisively that it drives innovation and growth.
A year on from the launch of Programme for Growth, Business Women Scotland hosted the first alumni event.
All 24 businesses that took part reported an increase in business and profits. Business owners said they found it a beneficial programme and taking advice from the panel of experts helped them make positive changes in their business.
One Attendee Said:
“I found parts of the programme very worthwhile, in particular Fiona MacNeill of Fiona McNeill Associates, her advice was very useful and something I will move forward with. I also found the coaching useful, I realise I need to go back to building a better team. From attending the programme, I have implemented advice from the panel and tried something just to see what result I would get. I increased revenue straight off the mark: £30,000 in the space of six weeks.”
