Join a Peer Group for Women Business Owners
As a business owner, you know it’s a challenge to stay on top of everything and keep balance in your life. What if you had a group of women entrepreneurs who you could turn to for feedback and fresh perspectives on your business opportunities and challenges?
As part of a Peer Group, you’ll connect with an experienced entrepreneur who has been there, gets the grind and shares her knowledge so you don’t have to learn the hard way. With a group of fellow entrepreneurs supporting you, you’ll gain the clarity to focus on what really matters, and feel more confident making decisions for the future.

Your Questions, Answered.
Thinking about joining? You’re not alone. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from women considering mentorship at PEIBWA.
In a Peer Mentoring group, you get the experience of your mentor, and you also benefit from the diverse viewpoints of the other group members.
There might be a woman who runs a marketing firm but needs guidance with her financials. And in her group, we would place a bookkeeper with years of experience in financial management who needs help growing her business on social media. This means they’ll both work with the experienced mentor, and they can also provide another layer of help for each other in the areas where they’re strong!
We interview every woman to make sure we don’t have any competing businesses in each group. We want to create a safe and confidential environment so you feel comfortable sharing! We find a lot of the challenges that women business owners face, like work/life balance, growing their sales, managing too much demand – transcend industries, and our mentees appreciate the different points of view from different types of business owners.
Due to grant funding from the Women Entrepreneurship Strategy, the program is free to all participants. The Prince Edward Island Business Women’s Association
