Women make some of the best entrepreneurs
According to a recent survey carried out by one of our partners, Everywoman, women business owners have overtaken their male counterparts for ‘growth ambition’, with 88% of women predicting business growth over next five years (read full report )
With female entrepreneurs predicting a £12 billion growth in turnover over the next five years, there are plenty of reasons to join in the optimism. And plenty of inspiration, help and support to get you there.
In Everywoman and Prowess, we’ve got some great partners who specialise in supporting women to start and grow businesses. And through horsesmouth mentors, you can also get in touch with some of the most successful and inspirational women in the UK to advise you – whatever stage you’re at.
On horsesmouth you’ll find advice on starting out from mentors like OutSec Ltd, aged 50, who set up business quite literally from the kitchen table and now provides transcription services to in excess of 2,000 corporate clients, many of whom are household names.
There’s also inspiration on overcoming barriers from young mentors like NatashaB, aged 27. Being a young mother at the age of 17 was no barrier to success as she went on to become a volunteer business mentor for Shell LiveWIRE and also won a ‘Services to Enterprise’ award in 2006.
There are many successful business women mentoring on horsesmouth who are willing to share their experiences to help your business grow, like ‘EMpwr’. EMpwr grew her business from a £1million turnover, to a turnover approaching £4million after just three years, before going on to sell it successfully.
Everyone has their own motivations for setting up or growing a business, be they financial or personal. On horsesmouth we find it’s usually a bit of both. A healthier work-life balance, a millionaire bank balance, or simply because you know you can do it better: now’s the time to get growing.

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.
I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
