Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a 33% increase in women-owned businesses set up on Facebook. However, access to finance remains a persistent barrier to women in business despite it being essential for enterprise growth.

To celebrate women in business going above and beyond to succeed across the UK, and to support a community of women entrepreneurs, enabling connections, peer-to-peer support and inspiration, Meta have partnered with NatWest for the #SheMeansBusiness programme.

As part of #SheMeansBusiness, Meta and NatWest are offering 50 UK-based women entrepreneurs the chance to win:

• £1,000 in advertising credits to promote their business;
• 1:1 digital mentorship and creative to produce a tailored advertising campaign;
• NatWest financial readiness coaching and peer-to-peer sessions with managers from their Accelerator hubs plus more.
