Women Entrepreneurs in Scotland 2019

In order to create an environment where more women and girls can realise their business aspirations, it is important to address some of the specific issues faced by women-owned businesses such as under-capitalisation, gender blind policy making, and discrimination as a result of stereotypical attitudes towards women in business.

This is why the work of the Women in Enterprise Cross Party Group (CPG) at Holyrood is important, as it enables women in business and those organisations supporting business to come together, discuss these issues and widen the conversation as to how best address the gender gap in enterprise participation, and growth.
