About Business Women Connections

Our aim is to provide all the tools, training, and support you need to start your own successful business, with a particular focus on building a community of like-minded women who can connect and support each other on a local level. It's especially important to have a support system in place for women who are starting their own businesses, as entrepreneurship can be challenging and isolating at times.

Our BWC franchise is designed to provide women with the resources and support they need to succeed in business. We offer a proven system for launching and operating a successful franchise, along with training and ongoing business development assistance. 

One of the unique features of our BWC franchise is that it is specifically tailored to the needs and interests of women. We understand the challenges that women face in the business world, and we have created a supportive community of like-minded women who are all working towards the same goals.

 Whether you are an experienced entrepreneur or just starting out in business, our BWC franchise can provide you with the tools and resources you need to build a successful and rewarding career. We invite you to explore our website and learn more about the opportunities we offer for women in business.

The Opportunity

The Business Women Connections (BWC) franchise offers an exciting opportunity to own and run your own business, with support and help from head office. The benefit of links to the highly regarded sister group Business Women Scotland (BWS) means you can achieve great things with your own franchise by following our blueprint.  

Women have made great strides in entrepreneurship in recent years and there are more female-fronted businesses than ever before.  Statistics indicated that women connect and work better when they have built a working relationship on trust.

There are many factors that can put women off starting their own business but with a BWC franchise you have the full back-up support from head office and its staff, reducing any risk for you as a business owner.

BWC franchise offers many different income streams to start and grow your business.

  • has been extensively tried and tested

  • includes full support every step of the way

  • involves a continuous cycle of feedback and improvement

Most importantly, our community of business women works and the feedback is great.

We’re an established business who have already walked the walk – there’s no need to start a business from scratch or feel lost along your entrepreneur journey.

I’ve made mistakes so you don’t have to.

Interested?

I'm glad to hear you are as passionate about building a trusted community among women as I am.

Here’s what happens next.

  • Step 1

    Please fill out the enquiry form to provide us with more information about you.

    The goal of my business is to get you signed up for a BWC franchise. I worked hard to create a BWC franchise and I want to partner with people who are passionate about supporting women entrepreneurs.

    There is no pressure or hard sell. Making sure we are a good match is the most important thing.

  • Step 2

    Let’s meet

    Once you’ve understood the basics, we can have a productive call.

    By the end of it, we will know:

    • if we are compatible with each other

    • if BWC is the right opportunity for you

    • whether you are ready to start your business journey

    Fill out the enquiry form and we will contact you at a convenient time.

  • Step 3

    The nitty gritty

    We will invite you to take the conversation further if we believe that you will be a good fit for the BWC community.

    By the end of this stage, we will discuss:

    • financial projections

    • what the systems and processes look like

    • which location could be exclusively yours.

What makes BWC different from other business community organisations? 

That support from head office allows you to focus and work on your business. The BWC franchise opportunity offers:

  • Significantly higher chance of success than in a sole proprietorship

  • Ownership of your own membership website and magazine

  • The opportunity to run and grow your own business

  • Initial training and on-going support

  • Flexible working hours, around family or other businesses commitments.

There are still a considerable number of budding female entrepreneurs out there waiting to take that first step - and you can be one of them.
