Female Entrepreneurs To Benefit From Residential Training Event

A series of upcoming residential events are set to help female entrepreneurs in Northern Ireland maximise sales and grow their business.

Two Women in Business events have been planned for County Tyrone later this year to inspire women who are already trading to encourage growth, ambition, diversification and scalability of their business.

Entrepreneurs will be equipped with the tools and knowledge to create their own growth strategy and will be introduced to the support out there- from local council availability to Invest NI.

Experienced trainers will cover topic such as:

• Making a pitch

• How to find an investor

• Branding and selling

• Developing a business strategy

• Growth challenges

Leading female entrepreneurs from Northern Ireland will also be on hand to speak about their journey to success and hold one-to-one meetings with advisers and businesswomen.

The support is available to:

• Women who are trading but have the potential to grow with suitable support. 

• Businesses who are thought to be start-up phase but need to make a change to get to the next stage of business. 

• Women who have potential in their business and through a female motivational environment to be energised and guided to move it forward. 

• Women who have a business model that may be working but requires further business, strategic or sales/marketing skills to achieve growth. 

• Businesses serving a local market who want to consider exporting. 

• Businesses who need investment to grow their business but don't know what to do next. 

• Women who need investment to grow their business but don't know what to do next. 

• Women who need access to mentoring support but do not know what is available/accessible to them. 

The two residential trips are planned for Monday 05- Tuesday 06 August and Monday 04- Tuesday 05 November at Corick House Hotel.

Women in Business are now accepting application forms, which can be downloaded here and submitted via email to yyc@womeninbusinessni.com. The deadline for applications is 12 noon on Friday 05 July.
