HOME ENTERPRISE DAY
Friday 20th Nov. 10am-12pm @ The Rowntree Suite, Carlisle
Business Centre, Bradford

Home Enterprise Day forms part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2009 and this year also falls during Social Media Tools Week. It is the UK’s first ever day to celebrate the millions of people who are earning an income from home.

Come and join us at this highly interactive seminar to find out how flexible and remote working options can enable you to become a better leader and entrepreneur.

Learn how to use new digital media to grow your business, and hear strategies for selecting appropriate online social media as an active business networking tool. A national report by the Women’s Enterprise Task Force (WETF) has found that women entrepreneurs are using innovative and flexible ways to avoid debt and survive the recession, making them more positive about coping with the economic crisis than men.

This seminar will show you how you can be a successful entrepreneur and use smart thinking to fight the recession.

Currently 2.5 million businesses already operate mainly from home and more than 60% of small businesses started from home. Home based businesses are intrinsically low carbon and by operating from one property instead of a separate home and workspace they cut commuting, as well as reducing the carbon emissions generated by constructing and fuelling separate premises.

Are you a 5 to 9-er?

Have you started a business in your spare time? If so you’re one of five million people in the UK who are holding down a day job and building a business at nights and weekends.

This FREE event is open all women, whether you are considering starting a business from home and want to know more or if you already work from home and want to get tips for being more effective. Refreshments will be provided.

Free entry but spaces are limited.

Digitalife are the leading agency for women in enterprise and employment in the Bradford District. Through our award-winning ‘Supporting Opportunities for Women in Enterprise’ programme, we address the economic empowerment of women through training, enterprise, business and self-employment.

We achieve this by providing learning opportunities, business support and coaching, peer interaction, market trading and networking events for our clients. The programme provides a voice for women from diverse cultural backgrounds who aspire to self-employment and business as a career choice.  All areas of our service are designed for women. We aim to build confidence and self-esteem. Through our work we address the multiple barriers women can face such as childcare, maintaining a work/life balance, and cultural/language barriers.

Crucially, we ensure that the programme is tailored to every woman’s individual needs, meets her aspirations and supports her in setting and reaching her own goals.

Since the programme began in Bradford three years ago, we have engaged over 500 local women – many of whom were *NEET or ‘hard-to-reach’.   We assisted over 600 pre-start businesses and created over 90 businesses.  In 2008 we celebrated our success when we were awarded the Prowess Flagship Award for Excellence in Women’s Enterprise. 

*NEET = Not in Employment, Education or Training
