Economic Empowerment
Womenās Enterprise Scotland works to create an entrepreneurial environment where women-led businesses can flourish and grow.
Because more women-owned businesses in Scotland means more money for the economy. The stats speak for themselves. If the numbers of women-led businesses increased to equal those of men, our national bank balance would be at least 5% better off. Thatās equivalent to a Ā£7.6 billion boost to the economy, minimum.

If the numbers of women-led businesses increased to equal those of men, our national bank balance would be at least 5% better off. Thatās equivalent to a Ā£7.6 billion boost to the economy, minimum.
To make the most of this opportunity for economic growth, and to improve the gender gap in Scottish entrepreneurial activity, Womenās Enterprise Scotland aims for nothing less than the creation of a new norm for women in business.
To do that, we at WES inspire and support women to start their own businesses, and grow them too. We advise and educate external partners, and advocate for gender-specific enterprise support. We seek to influence policy-makers and movers and shakers to recognise the economic contribution women-led business could make. And we champion womenās enterprise in the media, in Scottish society, and across the wider world.
Alongside our partners, Womenās Enterprise Scotland aims to create a commercial culture where women-led business ownership is not simply an aspiration, but becomes a truly attainable, attractive and achievable option for women everywhere. -
