Chairman: Tina Knight

We believe that women make ideal entrepreneurs.

• Over a quarter of all new businesses are being started by women and their businesses have a lower failure rate than men's.
• The compatibility between women and business is mutual. Women are suited to business because they are hard working, tenacious and possess common sense. And busines is ideal for women because it is an occupation where they can combine family life with a remunerative career.
• We can see the day when at least 50% of our entrepreneurs will be women.
• Women into Business is here to guarantee it happens.

Women into Business aims:

1. To give successful businesswomen a higher national profile and greater visibility so as to publicise and acknowledge their achievements and contributions to the economy.
2. To set up a counselling service run by businesswomen for businesswomen whereby senior successful entrepreneurs who are aware and sympathetic to the unique problems facing businesswomen will counsel and assist smaller businesswomen as well as potential entrepreneurs.
3. To ensure that Government Policies encourage women to set up in business. Also that they recognise the significant contribution that they make to the Small Business sector.
