Profile

Make It Your Business is a nationwide initiative to encourage and support women like you to start or grow your own business. It was founded by entrepreneur, writer and broadcaster Alison Cork MBE and is part of the National Women’s Enterprise Network.

We run free events all over the country where women can meet established local female entrepreneurs, learn from their experiences and network with other local inspiring female entrepreneurs, in a relaxed and enabling environment. We believe in the power of collaboration, with monthly meetings both online and face to face, where any woman can ask any question about enterprise.

The MIYB website lists all our events throughout the UK. It is free to use and those who register with us will also receive a monthly newsletter and have free access to all events, both face to face and online.

This year (2023) sees the launch of two new initiatives (you can find out more from the links below)

  • National Women’s Enterprise Week from 19th to 23rd June will highlight the importance of female entrepreneurship and encourage people around the UK to get involved in this national week of celebration.
  • The Women’s Launch Lab is an intensive three-day programme from 20th to 22nd June 2023 for women-led early-stage start-ups to have a unique mentoring experience.

Keep in touch with Make it Your Business and you will be the first to know when these are repeated in future.
