During the financial year 8 December 2023 to 8 December 2024, SHE’S IN BUSINESS GLOBAL C.I.C. operated as a women’s business education and economic empowerment organisation, with the primary purpose of improving the economic position of women globally. The company delivered a range of fully funded and low-cost programmes in entrepreneurship and financial education, designed specifically for women who are underrepresented or underserved by traditional education and employment systems. These included triple-accredited MBA-style business education, accredited coaching pathways, and live online masterclasses focused on strategy, pricing, profit, financial literacy, and sustainable business growth. Over the period, the company reached 14,636 women through fully funded business trainings delivered online, enabling women from diverse backgrounds and locations to access high-quality education without the usual financial and logistical barriers. In addition, 40 women were awarded full scholarships to the Expert to CEO MBA-style programme, receiving structured teaching, mentoring, coaching and recognised accreditation. A further 70 women progressed through the wider Expert to CEO pathway, and 1,655 learners completed a CPD-accredited Level 1 coaching programme, gaining skills that can be used to generate income through employment, consultancy or self-employment. The company’s activities were designed to benefit women who are often excluded from traditional business education, including those who are neurodivergent, carers, single parents, living with health conditions, or recovering from trauma. By offering flexible, online, trauma- and neurodiversity-informed programmes, supported by community and accountability, the company enabled women to build or grow businesses around their real-life circumstances. This has supported participants to increase their confidence, improve their financial literacy, develop viable business models, and create new or enhanced income streams. Beyond direct service delivery, SHE’S IN BUSINESS GLOBAL C.I.C. contributed to the wider community through advocacy, public lectures and media engagement on topics such as women and the economy, the value of unpaid labour, and inclusive entrepreneurship. In this way, the company’s activities during the year not only supported individual women to improve their financial circumstances, but also helped to challenge systemic barriers and promote a more inclusive, women-centred approach to economic participation and leadership.

During the financial year, SHE’S IN BUSINESS GLOBAL C.I.C. recognised the following as its key stakeholders: Women participating in our programmes (students, scholarship recipients and community members) Families and wider communities indirectly benefiting from women’s increased income and confidence Funders, partners and referrers (including community organisations and local supporters) Staff, contractors, coaches and guest experts Accrediting and professional bodies and relevant regulators How we consulted stakeholders Stakeholders were consulted in several ways, including: Post-programme feedback forms and surveys for all major trainings, including the MBA-style Expert to CEO programme and CPD Level 1 coaching. Live feedback during sessions via Q&A, chat, and debriefs at the end of trainings and masterclasses. Trustpilot and Google reviews, which allowed participants to share honest, public feedback about accessibility, quality and impact. Informal “listening” calls and check-ins with scholarship recipients and community members, particularly those juggling caring responsibilities, neurodiversity and financial hardship. Regular discussions with coaches, guest experts and contractors to reflect on what was working well and what needed adapting for our learners. Actions taken in response to feedback In response to stakeholder consultation, the Company took several practical actions, including: Increasing flexibility of delivery by offering more replays, varied session times and clearer catch-up options for women balancing childcare, employment and health needs. Strengthening financial education content, adding more emphasis on pricing, profit, cashflow and money management in response to women requesting deeper financial skills alongside business strategy. Enhancing accessibility for neurodivergent participants, including clearer structures, step-by-step checklists, shorter teaching blocks with implementation time, and more explicit expectations around homework and deadlines. Expanding fully funded and scholarship places for women who reported financial barriers to accessing accredited education. Improving communication and support, including more regular reminder emails, clearer joining instructions, and additional opportunities for questions and 1:1 support where needed. The Company will continue to consult stakeholders regularly and use their feedback to shape programme design, delivery and the overall strategy to improve the economic position of women globally.
