At the Scottish Bee Company, we’re proud to be part of the movement that supports women in business: Buy Women Built. As a female co-founded company, we know firsthand the challenges women face when starting a business. In the UK, women are starting businesses at a rate 30% behind other developed countries. One of the key reasons for this gap is a lack of confidence in their abilities, which too often holds women back from turning their ideas into reality.
That’s why platforms like Buy Women Built are so important. They create visibility, provide support, and build the confidence women need to take the leap into business. When women-led businesses thrive, they bring more diversity, innovation, and resilience to the economy. Studies show that if women started and scaled businesses at the same rate as men, it could add £250 billion to the UK economy. The potential is enormous—but women need the right networks and support to get there.
As co-founder of the Scottish Bee Company, Suzie Millar has seen the power of encouragement and mentorship firsthand. Buy Women Built has connected us with a strong community of female founders who uplift, collaborate, and inspire one another. It’s a movement that goes beyond selling products - it’s about changing the landscape of business.
Join us in celebrating women in business today and every day!
