Abstract

ABSTRACT Women entrepreneurs are challenged by access to finance in their quest to start any entrepreneurial activity. Global business failures have not spared women entrepreneurs; hence, this study is very significant, as it may direct the path to new business venture creation by women entrepreneurs. The provision of financial support to a business enterprise does not guarantee its success or growth. The study explored the role access to finance plays in entrepreneurship development, the strategies that stimulate women’s entrepreneurship, and the relationship between access to finance and entrepreneurship development. We used beta coefficients to quantify the effects of access to finance on entrepreneurship development. The findings revealed that women entrepreneurs find it difficult to access cheap and adequate financial services. The study recommends increased funding, development of good policies, and entrepreneurship training and education for women-owned businesses in order to strengthen women’s entrepreneurship development.
乌干达基盖齐分区域的融资和妇女创业发展
女性企业家在寻求开展任何创业活动时都面临着获得融资的挑战。全球商业失败也未能使女性企业家幸免;因此,这项研究是非常重要的,因为它可能指导新的商业风险的路径由女企业家创建。向企业提供财政支持并不能保证其成功或成长。本研究探讨了融资渠道在创业发展中的作用、激励妇女创业的战略以及融资渠道与创业发展之间的关系。我们使用贝塔系数来量化获得融资对创业发展的影响。调查结果显示,女企业家发现很难获得廉价和充足的金融服务。该研究建议增加资金,制定良好的政策,并为妇女拥有的企业提供创业培训和教育,以加强妇女创业的发展。
