Make
It Your Business (MIYB), founded in 2017 by entrepreneur Alison Cork to
support and encourage women to work for themselves, announces its
partnership with Mumsnet, the UK's biggest website for parents.
The
partnership will provide an online chat forum for women thinking of starting
their own business. From Jan 31st 2018, Mumsnet
users can post questions and exchange ideas on any aspect of entrepreneurship
or how to get started in running your own business, with the added benefit of
feedback from the team at Make It Your Business and Alison Cork, who will be on
hand to share their experience and advice.
Mumsnet
founder & CEO Justine Roberts says: “Starting a business from
scratch is challenging, but the statistics show that women face particular
barriers; just one-fifth of small businesses in the UK are majority-owned by
women. From having the self-confidence to go it alone, to sharing worries about
balancing family life with long working days, women can benefit from the
experience and support of others who have been there and done that - which,
happily, is Mumsnet's speciality. So we're delighted to be working
with Make It Your Business, and hope it will help women from all backgrounds to
go for it.”
Founder
of MIYB, entrepreneur Alison Cork says: “We are thrilled to be partnering with
Mumsnet, and doing our bit to address the lack of support and information
currently deterring many women from starting their own business. We look
forward to working with Mumsnet’s vibrant and engaged community”.
