What We Do
Bizness Babes is an energetic program offering business training and coaching to women who have a business idea but need the means to make it happen. It’s a program run by women for women who want to be in business! At the end of the program graduates have great networks, great friends and even (just maybe) a great business.
The program is a dynamic and progressive way of addressing some of the challenges that confront women trying to balance community and family commitments with earning an income. Through training workshops and ongoing support, Bizness Babes assists women through the business set-up phase and beyond, covering areas such as finance, business planning, research, marketing and communication. We are also big on enthusiasm, motivation, energy and the latest insights from the business world.
Expert guidance and resources are provided to ensure all business proposals are researched, examined, pulled apart and then rebuilt as carefully-constructed business plans that have the best possible chance of succeeding (and if they don’t we try again!). We invite businesspeople to come and share their journeys, encourage ongoing mentor relationships, and offer micro-financing through interest-free loans.
The program is based on four key principles:
- Innovation and self-employment can provide a pathway to a healthy bank balance
- Developing enterprise is a pathway to broader engagement with the wider community
- All women have the right to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to function successfully in life, and to secure rewarding and worthwhile employment or self-employment
- Parents and women have the right to access opportunities in a safe and supportive environment.
Established in 2006, Bizness Babes has already helped scores of women to create new businesses. Currently our programs are run in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, while we actively look for funds that will enable us to extend the program to more cities and regional areas across Australia.
