LETS TALK BUSINESS...
Starting a business can be an exciting, but at the same time rather daunting, experience. There can be enormous pressure in running your own business. However, good planning and detailed research can remove some of the pressures and help you get your new venture up and running.
Opportunities are increasing for people setting up businesses that trade with a social purpose, the best-known example of which is The Big Issue magazine. The recently published Social Enterprise Monitor shows that these kinds of businesses are creating more jobs and have turnovers as high, or higher, than their mainstream counterparts. More women than men are being attracted into the sector, which is currently enjoying its fastest ever period of expansion. The Monitor is available at: www.london.edu/fem/Research/GEM_UK_social_entrepreneurs_2003.pdf
