Business support for women in business
You are building a business around a full life, often with less backing than you deserve. We give women founders and owners straight talking senior help and systems that protect time, money and confidence.
Who this is for
You started something of your own, maybe after a career, a baby or a gap in the road, and you are doing most of it alone. You are tired of being told to lean in. You want sharp advice, a second brain that has been there, and fewer hours of admin.
What women founders tell us they are up against
Being underestimated in the room
Pitches, supplier meetings and bank conversations can feel like an audition you have to keep passing. The questions are tougher and your answers get less benefit of the doubt.
Raising money feels like a different game
Many women find funding conversations awkward and the networks hard to enter. Without a clear case and the right introductions, good businesses stay smaller than they need to.
Confidence taxes on pricing
Undercharging, discounting after a wobble and saying yes to unpaid extras quietly drain income. Everyone does it sometimes, but for many it becomes a habit.
Doing the work and the rest
The business, the household and the mental list all run through you. Growth plans fall apart when nobody else can take a single task off the pile.
Straight talking help from people who have been there
Scope &
Strategy
We start with an honest conversation about where you are, what you want from the business and what is in the way. You get a clear order of play, plus a view on pricing, positioning and funding.
About Scope & StrategySystems &
Solutions
We build systems that give you hours back: client handling, invoicing, follow up and content that run in the background, designed with your life in mind and simple enough to hand to someone else.
About Systems & SolutionsSecurity &
Support
You should not have to become a security expert. We look after access, data protection and backups, keep it all up to date and tell you in plain English when something needs a decision.
About Security & SupportQuestions people ask
Is there funding specifically for women-led businesses in the UK?
Some funders and investors run programmes for women founders, though what exists changes. General grants and loans are open to everyone eligible too. Check current options on GOV.UK, Innovate UK and the funders themselves. We can help you work out which routes suit your business.
How do I stop undercharging in my business?
Work out what your hours, costs and expertise truly cost, set prices from that, and practise saying the number without apologising. Then keep a short script for discount requests. We can go through your pricing with you and test it against what you deliver.
How can I run a business and still have time for my life?
Decide what only you can do, then move everything else to systems, tools or people. Protect fixed hours and treat them like client work. It will not happen overnight, but it can start small. We can help you plan the first handovers.
How do I get started with NYAS?
Book a call. We will ask what you have built, what is draining you and where you would like to be. We will say honestly whether we can help and what we would look at first. Nothing is expected beforehand.
