Women in Business Community

A big part of what we're building at NYAS is about giving experienced women — and mothers, specifically balancing business with everything else — more flexible, more supported ways to progress. That means real time back through AI and smart delegation, real knowledge-sharing, and a real community of people doing the same thing, not just another networking list.

Whether you're exploring a flexible income stream to help with the rising cost of living, dreaming up a business you could run from home around school hours, or just trying to claw back the time childcare and household admin quietly swallow every week — you are not the only one asking these questions. This is where NYAS is building the answers.

"Expert advice & support to plug in, clarify and share the load, whenever you need." — Hayley, Founder

Real pain points, real support

Wherever you're stuck, there's a way through

Six places women tell us they're losing time, money, or momentum — and how NYAS and this community are built to help with each one.

Career Progression

Not enough hours left to upskill or push for that next role once everything else is done? We help you use AI to reclaim the time progression actually takes.

Career Opportunities

Thinking about a pivot, a portfolio career, or work that finally fits around your life? Get honest input from women who've made that jump, plus AI skills that travel with you.

Business Set Up

Starting something from your kitchen table? We help you scope which parts — admin, marketing, replying to customers — an AI agent could take on from day one.

Time Back With Family

This is the whole point. Every AI agent NYAS builds exists to hand you back hours — for the school run, for being present, not catching up on emails at 9pm.

Grant & Funding Routes

Funding for women-led businesses exists, but finding the right route is a job in itself. As the community grows, this is exactly the knowledge members will share with each other.

Women-Founded Networking & Support

Not another event where you swap cards and never speak again. A real, ongoing network of women founders sharing what's actually working — and where to turn next.

Recognised for our impact

Built by someone who's done this before

Hayley Bell built NYAS from real experience, not theory. From scaling global projects to advising businesses through growth and change — including leading large-scale community initiatives like Women Riders World Relay — she's built exactly this kind of community before, and knows what makes one actually work versus just existing.

Common questions

Women in Business FAQs

Is the NYAS Women in Business community live yet?

Not yet — it's currently being built. Join the waitlist and you'll be first in as it launches, plus you'll get useful guides, connections, and early sessions as they're ready.

Do I need to already run a business to join?

No. The waitlist is open to women exploring an idea, already running a business, or navigating a career change or return to work — however early or established you are.

Can this help me build a business I can run part-time, from home, around my children?

That's exactly the kind of setup NYAS's AI agents are built for — taking on the repetitive admin, marketing, and customer-facing work so a lean, home-based, part-time business is realistic rather than exhausting.
