The Government recognise the vital contribution that women entrepreneurs are making in building our economy. Women-led businesses contribute £45 billion to the UK economy. Women can get advice and support through the Business Link network. In addition, we are funding a network of women's enterprise ambassadors to inspire more women to start their own business, and piloting women's business centres that provide specific business advice.
