Women and Equalities Committee: Female entrepreneurship

Committee hears from witnesses

The Women and Equalities Committee is conducting oral evidence sessions to examine female entrepreneurship in the UK. This inquiry will gather evidence from business leaders, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders to understand barriers women face when starting and running businesses, and to identify what support and policy changes could help more women succeed as entrepreneurs.

Female entrepreneurship is a significant driver of economic growth and job creation. This inquiry affects millions of women in business and potential female entrepreneurs, as its findings could influence government policy on business support, access to finance, networking, and workplace equality — with implications for closing the gender gap in business ownership and economic participation.
