We Don't Need More Ladies in Business- We Need More Women Changing the Game

Yes, like many organisations and individuals, we recognise how far women have come. They're finally being seen, standing up for their rights, their talents, their intelligence. But with around 80% of UK businesses still under male leadership, we have to stop and ask: why?

It’s not a lack of skill, drive, or ambition. And we’re not here to lecture you on social or economic factors. At Laidies, we’re here to make a change.

So, What Does Real Change Look Like?

Picture walking into your local high street. In half the shops, women are calling the shots. You go to a job interview and across the table sits a mixed-race woman, the founder of a growing AI agency, excited to meet you. Your physiotherapy session is being led by an Asian man in a wheelchair who’s reimagining recovery. Your daughter’s hair appointment? It’s with a white man styling intricate princess braids with laser focus.

At Laidies, we don’t see boxes. Not the ones society puts us in. Not the ones you might put yourself in. We see ability. We see dreams turned into action.

Why Target Women Then?

Good question. Yes, our work focuses on elevating women entrepreneurs. But this isn't about exclusion, it’s about inclusion. About levelling a playing field that’s never been even. We exist to serve women and anyone else who’s been told they “don’t belong.”

Why would we try to mimic male-led businesses in male-dominated industries? We wouldn't. That’s not our ethos, and it’s not our mission.

Here’s something most people don’t talk about: companies start with people. Just a few. And their mind-set becomes the company culture. If you’ve ever been turned down by a business because of money, that decision came from one person—the boss. I’ve sat in meetings asking:

• “Why can’t we offer an alternate payment plan?”

• “Why can’t we make an allowance? This person has fire.”

• “Why can’t we help when we know we can?”

The honest answer? Most business owners think of two things: themselves and their profits.

Sound harsh? Maybe. But think about it, don’t you want something more human? More ethical? More real?

That’s why Laidies exists. We’re built on social responsibility. We help people with heart, drive, and purpose, not just a pile of cash.

You don’t need £10,000 in the bank. You do not need a degree and you don’t need to have all the answers. That’s our job.

So, What Are You Looking For?

Simple. Are you:

• Running a business?

• Open to growth and development?

• Committed to your goals?

• Resilient and ready for change?

  
  

Have you tried other options that just didn’t deliver? Are you tired of dead ends? If you’re nodding yes, then we’re glad you found us.

Laidies won’t promise overnight success. No one should. But we do promise to take the guesswork out of business growth. Through our Growth Audit and development process, we help you solve bottlenecks using personalised AI solutions tailored to your unique goals.

“I’m In… But I Don’t Have £10,000.”

We hear this a lot. And we get it.

If someone’s quoted you a price that feels out of reach, take a deep breath. Let the worry go. Not all powerful solutions come with a hefty price tag.

That said—this isn’t about undercutting other agencies. Our prices are based on you, your needs, your business, your potential. That’s why every journey starts with a Growth Audit. It’s the first step to uncover what’s really holding you back and how we can help.
