More women than ever are looking to set up their own businesses, the biggest motivator being an increased flexibility of working hours allowing them to balance work and family more effectively. In the United Kingdom, for example, there has been a 17 percent increase in the number of women going it alone in the last year!

If you are thinking of starting up your own business we hope that you might find some inspiration in our Mums in Business success stories or the practical information needed to get the ball rolling with your own venture in one of our articles. Maybe there is a fellow entrepreneur in your area that could offer you advice, some form of collaboration or an understanding ear!  Please take a look through the members of our Mums in Business network which you will find within our forum.

I personally have found running my own business, although stressful at time, truely exhilirating! Not to mention how much my little one benefits from my flexible working hours. Inevitably I probably do end up working more hours than with a conventional job but I can choose when I fit in these hours...most of which are normally after his bedtime! Mums in Spain is now branching out across Europe, as well as into the Brides sector.

If you have a success story that you would like to share with Mums in Spain or would like to be listed under our MIB Network please contact us: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
