Ten years ago, I contributed to The Burt Report: Inclusive Support for Women in Enterprise 2015.
By then, I'd been in business for 18 years, with plenty to say.
Has much improved? Women-led startups increased to 54% of all Scottish startups (according to Women's Enterprise Scotland research) - Yayyy!
WES rightly points out the ~£17bn opportunity cost to the economy... but a 61% attrition rate is, well, challenging. And women-led employer businesses dropping to only 20%, speaks volumes about confidence, constraints and access to capital.
In 2025, I could say much more, instead, I set about bridging the gap between your business reality and the conventional scaling playbook.
How? Strategic support for women who've built something that works — and are ready to scale it without losing what makes it theirs.
The first step? Starts with a 2-minute focused scorecard that identifies what's blocking your next steps to growth.
Did I mention it's free... zero cost to you.
Why? Because frankly, I'm sick reading the same script every year for ten years.
