正文(英文) | Report shows progress in boosting investment in UK's women entrepreneursThe latest annual report on the Investing in Women Code is published today.
A new report published today (Tuesday 28 June) reveals the strength of investment in the UK’s women entrepreneurs by lenders and investors signed up to the Investing in Women Code, a world-leading commitment to improve access to finance for women-led businesses. The Investing in Women Code is an initiative recommended by the government-commissioned Rose Review, led by NatWest CEO Alison Rose, into how best to boost female entrepreneurship. The code sets out commitments to support the advancement of women entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom by improving their access to the tools, resources and finance they need to achieve their goals. Signatories to the code include Angel investment groups, venture and growth investors and High Street banks including Barclays, NatWest and Santander. The report is the second-ever annual report on the code and key findings include:
While there is more work to be done, the code is gaining recognition worldwide. A partnership between 14 countries including Australia, Canada and China, the World Bank and 6 regional development banks is planning to draw on the UK’s experience to create a ‘Women Entrepreneurs Finance Code’ to help the 400 million businesses owned by women around the world. Small Business Minister Paul Scully said:
British Business Bank CEO Catherine Lewis La Torre said:
Stephen Pegge, Managing Director, Commercial Finance, UK Finance, said:
Jenny Tooth OBE, Executive Chair of the UK Business Angels Association, said:
Gurpreet Manku, BVCA Deputy Director General and Director of Policy, said:
The government and the Investing in Women Code partners have agreed 3 priorities for the future:
The report builds on the announcement last month that a new ‘Taskforce on Women-Led High-Growth Enterprises’ will support women entrepreneurs, tackle investing barriers, and increase the number of women-led fast-growing businesses. The taskforce will influence high growth investors, the wider business community, and raise the aspirations of the next generation of female entrepreneurs. The first meeting of the taskforce is expected to be this week. A diverse and inclusive business ecosystem is good for customers, entrepreneurs, businesses, investors, and society. BEIS, together with the Investing in Women Code partners and signatory firms share a commitment to work in partnership to make the UK one of the most attractive countries in the world to start and grow a business by advancing female entrepreneurship. The government is continuing to back UK businesses and livelihoods, including through the Help to Grow Management and Digital schemes, increasing the Employment Allowance and slashing fuel duty. Notes to editorsOrganisations are eligible to become code signatories if they provide debt or equity finance to businesses. Examples include banks and non-bank lenders, venture capital funds, private equity firms, Angel consortia, crowdfunding platforms, and public sector providers. BEIS welcomes interest in the Investing in Women Code from all eligible organisations. Further information about the code and an online sign up from is available on the British Business Bank’s website.
