Female Entrepreneurship 2024

Understanding the opportunities and challenges facing female entrepreneurs in the UK.

The Report

Small Business Britain, Square and Clearpay worked together in 2024 to understand the opportunities and challenges for female entrepreneurs in the UK.

This programme of work included a wide ranging survey of 1,000 female entrepreneurs, interviews and case studies of fantastic female founders to really understand the opportunities they are seeing and the challenges they are facing as they start and grow their business.

The Female Entrepreneurship: Moving Forward report is available simultaneously as an audiobook as part of Small Business Britain’s drive towards greater accessibility.
