As a female small business owner, it's important to know if there is funding available to help you grow your business. But most funding is controlled by government agencies who aren't allowed to market to you.

It's for women who are not only looking for funding but also skills and connections to strengthen their own businesses but to share what they know with other “commuters."

• What exactly is The Roundabout
• The real goal of the Roundabout

Social proof is a powerful tool that can help you build trust with potential clients and show them that you’re an expert in your field. It’s a great way to demonstrate that you’re credible and that you have the experience and knowledge to back up your claims. 
The reality is that new to you clients are more likely to trust and follow the opinions and behaviors of those they perceive as authorities or experts in a given field.
