Supporting Female Entrepreneurs

Providing the right solutions to help female-led businesses to scale.

HSBC research* has shown that female entrepreneurs receive five percent less funding than male entrepreneurs, globally.  The biggest barriers to female entrepreneurs accessing capital are:

  • Access to networks - a lack of peers and mentors is limiting female entrepreneurs in terms of growth
  • Role models - female entrepreneurs are more likely to be inspired to start their business by other women in their industry or female role models
  • Overcoming bias of investment panels
  • Lack of investment knowledge - female founders want more transparent investor criteria and constructive feedback

At HSBC we are committed to helping female entrepreneurs overcome these barriers.  Read on for more information about how we are doing this.
