Do you have growth aspirations for your business? Are they achievable or are there barriers to overcome? What help do you need to realise your goals?
Invest NI have commissioned a research project with a specific focus on Growth Orientated Female Owned/Managed Businesses. The key aims of this project are to:
· Profile the growth orientation of female owned business in Northern Ireland;
· Examine the determinants of growth in female owned businesses;
· Assess the necessity for targeted business support initiatives for women seeking to grow their businesses.
We are running a number of focus groups throughout Northern Ireland to facilitate a discussion of the opportunities, constraints and business support issues faced by women as they seek to grow their businesses.
