Problems faced by the women entrepreneur
Society skeptical attitude
• The greatest deterrent to women entrepreneurs is that they are women. A kind of patriarchal – male dominant social order is the building block to them in their way towards business success.
Access to funds
• The financial institutions are skeptical about the entrepreneurial abilities of women.
• The bankers consider women loonies as higher risk than men loonies.
• The bankers put unrealistic and unreasonable securities to get loan to women entrepreneurs
Career or Family?
• Women's family obligations also bar them from becoming successful entrepreneurs in both developed and developing nations. "Having primary responsibility for children, home and older dependent family members, few women can devote all their time and energies to their business"

• Unfamiliarity with the external world and lack of ease in moving around
