Abstract

This paper provides an overview of five articles which comprise the second part of the special issue on women and the financing of entrepreneurial ventures, and identifies specific issues requiring further investigation, as well as possible future research directions. Topics covered by these articles include: the characteristics and behaviours of women business owners; the characteristics of their ventures; financial strategies adopted and business decision-making; the relationships between those seeking finance and potential suppliers; and the impact of gender on women's ability to raise finance. In relation to future research, the authors highlight, among other things, the need for: research designs which capture the heterogeneity of women business owners and their ventures; in addition to comparative studies, investigations which give ‘voice’ to women's experiences (of seeking and supplying finance) in their own right; sound theoretical and conceptual foundations; holism, inclusivity and heterogeneity in research into the financing of women owned/led businesses.
