View from Across the Atlantic Shows Economic Benefits of Needs Based Business Support

Scotland's aspirations for inclusive economic growth face a critical challenge as recent data reveals an increasing threat to the sustainability of women's entrepreneurship that could cost the economy £17bn annually. We're stating this warning as we publish our Scottish Election Manifesto 2026.

We're calling for urgent action to tackle the high levels of women-led businesses failing to progress beyond the start-up phase, with the need for a strategic, long-term solution to boost women-centric business support.

We are calling for action on a Women's Business Centre. Read our letter to Scotland's First Minister.

Share your experiences and challenges and be part of positive change for women across Scotland.
