Business mums a powerful forceMums who turn their kitchens into boardrooms and set up businesses from home have become a powerful force, with a combined turnover of 4.4 billion.
The finding comes from a new study by Yellow Pages. The research, developed in conjunction with experts at the London School of Economics, identifies a new breed of enterprising female entrepreneurs dubbed 'Kitchen Table Tycoons', who successfully juggle the roles of mother and magnate.
According to the study, more than a third of female entrepreneurs are between 26 and 30, and motivated by the need for flexibility after the birth of their first child. Childminding heads the top 10 most popular businesses for women at home, followed by baby goods and services, marketing and advertising consultancy, and accounts and book keeping services.
