Abstract
This paper uses an econometric approach to analyse gender differences in access to finance for business startup based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2004 database. We find that females are around 7.5 pp more likely to perceive financial barriers to business startup than
males, which reduces startup rates by 1.73.8 pp. Being female also has an additional direct effect on each startup indicator not linked to financial barriers. This suggests that females in the general UK population perceive stronger financial barriers to business startup than UK males, and this may be discouraging them from seeking external financial support for business startup.
