Most Enterprising Business Award

Background

Introduced by the Association of Scottish Businesswomen (ASB) in 2003, entrants are choice nominations or current winners of affiliate club awards.
 

Eligibility

This award is open to affiliate members only who have the nomination of their club or are a current winner of an affiliate club award. Any member can enter, regardless of the period of time they have been in business. This allows the ASB to recognise the efforts of those members who have perhaps identified a niche market to operate in or moved the business in an entirely new direction, as well as those who are more recently established.
Whilst the Award is made to a business entity, a woman must be the driving force behind the business.

If you won the Most Enterprising Business of the Year Award last year then you are not eligible to enter the category this year.​

There is a restriction to 1 entry per affiliate club per year.

• Originality of new business idea and or boldness & creativity applied in expansion/ diversification
