Take part in our Survey of Women in Enterprise 2025

Share your experiences and challenges and be part of positive change for women across Scotland.

We have launched our Women in Enterprise Survey 2025 to collect the experiences and views from women-led and women-owned businesses across Scotland. Our research helps to identify what strategies and practices are needed to effect positive change for women in enterprise and unlock the potential to add billions to Scotland’s economy every year.

The insights will form the next in our series of reports to pinpoint where existing support is meeting the needs of women and highlight the areas where more or different solutions are required to tackle issues and realise business growth.

The survey allows us to gather data which can be used to drive policy change and improve services for women-led and women-owned businesses.  It is part of the commitment by Women's Enterprise Scotland to ensure that women’s voices and experiences of business support in Scotland are heard and used to improve the business environment for women currently running businesses and the next generation of women entrepreneurs.

We ask all women who own or lead a business in Scotland to complete the survey, so collectively we can identify and drive the changes that are needed to close the gender gap in enterprise participation.

The survey covers the current business environment, key economic strategy with a focus on technology and net-zero, business support, and wellbeing.
