How to Support Women this Small Business Saturday

Why we are supporting women this Small Business Saturday

The 27th of November is Small Business Saturday. We are big on shopping small here at Our Remedy. We know that when we, and our friends with small businesses, make a sale we do a little dance.

This Small Business Saturday we want to give a shout out to some female-founded businesses that we think deserve some love.

Why is it important to support female founders?

While numbers of female-founded businesses are on the rise, we are still in the minority. In the UK there are around 32% of businesses are owned by women. This has shifted from 17% a few years ago, but still a way to go for evens.

Investment in female-founded businesses isn’t quite there either. For every £1 of venture capital investment in the UK all-female founder teams get less than 1p. All male founded teams get 89p. Mixed teams get 10p.

On days such as Small Business Saturday, it is a great chance to shop at local or online, independently run companies. This year, we are choosing to spend our money and buy Christmas gifts from these small, female-founded businesses.
