In the US, women have been starting businesses at a higher rate than men for the last 20 years, creating home-based micro and small businesses. It is thought that this trend will be replicated in the UK. To help push the trend and boost the UK’s chances of catching up, Women Outside The Box, the first ever major women's business event, is to be held in Bristol. The free-to-attend day offers advice specifically designed for women on starting up and growing a business, as well as demystifying some of the issues that face the modern female entrepreneur. More than 200 people have already registered to attend the event, taking place in October, and organisers are expecting 1,000 women to attend on the day. Following the launch event, Women Outside the Box will then be taken around all major cities in the UK. Joni Farthing, director of Women Outside the Box, said: “It’s important that women starting out have the chance to meet with others who are already successful. But when the time comes to grow their company, women can often get stuck. So there’ll be a lot of help through workshops and clinics on this subject at the festival. “For women in particular it is really important they get support and grow their network to succeed in business, whether that’s for help with their childcare arrangements or finding suppliers they have confidence in. Women also tend to make business relationships in a very different way from men, as we enjoy finding common ground, empathising and working collaboratively.” To find out more about exhibiting or attending Women Outside The Box, go to: www.womenoutsidethebox.co.uk.
