If you’re mum with a business idea or want to switch to more flexible working arrangements, you may be considering starting your own business. Even the thought of where to start can be daunting. You may have a business idea but want a partner to join you or maybe you not sure what you want to do but you want something different to the normal 9-5 sort of job. I have found a website that is bringing the two together.
Mumplusbusiness.co.uk is mainly run single handily by Esther, a new mum. After her son was born, she wanted to start her own business as she didn’t want to send him to a nursery yet at a very young age. However she missed the social interaction that she would normally have working in a company.
I thought, wouldn’t it be great if I could find another mother who I could work with, who would understand my family situation and complement my skills.
I researched the concept online and could only find information about networking events and conferences. What was lacking was a focused way of finding a suitable mother to team up with. It had to be flexible and efficient not to mention highly practical.
That was when the idea of Mum Plus Business was born! The key aim of Mum Plus Business is to connect motivated local mothers in a similar position, who cam collectively support each other whilst also complementing each other’s skills.
What a brilliant idea. Do go and have a look, mumplusbusiness.co.uk , you never know what you might find and could provide the perfect answer.
This is such a great idea I am a single mum starting up a business from home and it’s slowly dawning on me that the flexibility is great for me and my child but the loneliness is just excruciating!
