A $500,000 investment by the New South Wales government across three programs through the Women in Business Networks (WIBN) grant will aim to empower and support more women on their journey to starting and running their small businesses by giving them the tools they need to achieve success.
Of all the small businesses across NSW, only one third of these businesses are owned by women, according to the state government.
Through the programs, women small business owners, or those who are looking to start a small business, will be connected with resources and support, including training, workshops, networking, peer support, and industry mentoring.
One of the programs to share in the funding is called ‘Work of Art’ and responds to the challenges that many women face when trying to establish creative businesses in regional areas.
