Any Business Guide Can Show you How to Start a Business

But it won’t show you how to start your business. That's where we come in...

Business start-up advice

Every woman in business has to face a unique set of challenges - so a ‘one size fits all’ start-up guide will only get you so far.

It won't address your personal development, the opportunities that lie in your business or the practical issues you have to manage, like juggling work and home commitments.

That's why CEWE is here

From our base at the University of East London, we've brought together a network of advisors and organisations, to help you identify and address the issues that stand in your way.

You might be wondering...

  • How to tell if your business idea is worth pursuing
  • How to protect your idea
  • How to fund your venture
  • How to recognise your talents and the gaps in your skills or knowledge
  • How to master business essentials, like marketing or accounts
  • How to promote yourself through networks, web and social media
  • How to work from home and harness the support of your family
  • How to manage your time and get the most from each business day

The fact is, no two start-up ventures will ever face the same issues
So we’re not here to prescribe an approach – we’re here to help you move ahead in a way that fits you and your business.

So how can we help you?
If you’ve already set up your business - or you're about to set up – you’ll probably have a list of challenges that’s growing day by day. So it's a good time to get in touch and chat with one of our advisors.

From the first time we meet, we'll help you work through problems and develop workable plans - calling on our partners’ commercial experience and the latest business research.

To discuss your start-up plans, call CEWE on 020 8223 2311
Or e-mail cewe@uel.ac.uk and tell us about the challenges you're facing.
