According to a survey by the London School of Business and Wori Foundation states that women are less likely to start a new business than men.
Their figures revealed that double the amount of men compared to women start businesses. The survey highlighted that one of the crucial areas was that women had greater difficulty in securing finance for their proposed start up business.

Come on you women! A 50% shareholder in is Joanne Roberts and yes, she is a woman!.
Women are just as good at running succesful businesses as men. It is perhaps harder for a woman to start up as they lack the confidence to start but as for being able to cope with running a business, the woman's mind has the ability to multi-track i.e. cope with and think about more than one thing at once.
