By Small Business Britain - 21st November 2025

Small Business Britain and Starling have launched Female Founder Fundamentals, a free six-week programme designed to empower women across the UK to start and grow thriving businesses.

Backed by research revealing that 80% of female founders feel more confident and 87% happier since starting their business, this programme will give you the tools, skills and community to keep that confidence growing – and overcome the challenges that come with entrepreneurship.

Across six expert-led weeks, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build confidence and overcome self-doubt
  • Find investment and how to find funding
  • Craft your brand and grow online
  • Use AI for productivity to save time and stress
  • Create a network that supports and champions you
  • Grow your business and explore new markets

You’ll hear directly from inspiring female founders, connect with other women building businesses just like you, and gain practical, actionable insights you can apply straight away.
