A cooperative and small incubator for women starting their own work
Loomyard is a business cooperative and small incubator for women starting their own work. Members share an office, legal and accounting advice and a network of clients. Several members run digital services from home or from our shared space.
Small businesses and new freelancers need simple websites, online booking and clear social media pages. People who offer these services locally, with good personal contact, can find steady clients.
A mentoring programme for women who want to offer web services on their own. You meet a mentor every two weeks for six months, test your idea with real clients and prepare a simple business plan.
A practical workshop on setting fair prices, writing quotes and sending invoices. You leave with templates you can use from your first client.
Advice sessions run in the morning and after school hours, and the shared space has a quiet room for parents with young children. Members decide together how the cooperative is run, with one vote each.
