INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
The present report is an overview on the results of the survey that was carried out in the frame of the project Women in Business The main aim of the survey was to find out what problems hinder women - in this case women entrepreneurs - from taking part in economic decision making processes Women entrepreneurs were also questioned about the problems they faced when starting up an enterprise and problems they face in the day-to-day running of their businesses. More general questions about the size of their enterprises, their family background and their qualifications were raised in order to complete the picture.

More general questions about the size of their enterprises, their family background and their qualifications were raised in order to complete the picture. The main problems she faced when creating her enterprise were financial questions and combining work and family. In the daily running of the businesses, these problems appear to remain, liquidities and financial issues being a major concern, as well as the reconciliation of work and family. There does not appear to be an easy solution to the reconciliation issue, whereas financial issues can be overcome with a loan from the bank or alternative finance sources (family or savings).

CHAPTER 7
SUGGESTIONS
. At the district level, a separate womens organization can be formed so as to help women
entrepreneurs in fulfilling their requirements of financial assistance, marketing aid, obtaining subsides, concessions, technical know-how, raw material assistance, conduct of market surveys to asses the feasibility counseling, follow up guidance etc.. Finance should be made available to women entrepreneurs at a reduced rate of interest. Collateral security should be done away with in the case of women applicant of small-scale industry. Margin money for women entrepreneurs should not be more than ten percent. The procedures and formalities of bank should be simplified and the required documents should be minimized. Moreover all the documents shall be in the regional language.
