READY TO LEVEL UP?

WE’VE DEVELOPED AN EXCLUSIVE GROWTH PROGRAMME FOR THE 51% CLUB MEMBERS, FOCUSED ON HELPING YOU TO SCALE

The 51% Club is here to help our members scale beyond their wildest dreams. But sometimes, in the midst of the daily juggle, it can be hard to work out what that really means.

That’s why we’ve developed a special programme – completely exclusive to The 51% Club members. Our eight-week Growth Programme will take you from strategy setting and identifying the building blocks you need, through to understanding your financial options and setting the wheels in motion.

We’ve partnered with West Midlands Combined Authority’s Investment Readiness team and Real World Consultancy to make this fully-funded… meaning it’s free if you’re a member of The 51% Club.

Applications for our first cohort are now closed. Keep your eyes peeled for cohort two and our first programme in Leamington soon!

The criteria to apply is that you must be:

A female-founded or female-led business
A UK registered company
Trading for at least 12 months

Across eight consecutive weeks, experts will lead you in a number of practical workshops, inspiring discussions, and advice exercises:

Week 1: Setting your strategy
