Women-owned enterprises have grown rapidly in India during the last two decades. The emergence and growth of women-owned businesses has significantly contributed to India's economic growth and development. The majority of women-owned businesses in our country are in the service sector. Women Entrepreneurs have contributed not only to economic progress but also to job opportunities, particularly for women. However, it is to be taken into consideration that woman entrepreneurs have to face a lot of hurdles and problems especially in fund generation. A women entrepreneur should have a good source of knowledge with regard to finance. Finance is the backbone or lifeblood of any firm or of an organization, and the lack of adequate financial support makes it very difficult to carry forward the business activities.
