Hello:
Thank you for taking time to answer this short questionnaire regarding the Nature and Incidence of Women's Business Ownership in non-tradtional sectors. The research aims to identify and classify as many of these businesses as possible. An assessment of their incentives, use of business support services and key challenges will be made in the context of previous research findings.
The questionnaire therefore asks general closed and open questions regarding the nature and type of your business, your incentives for starting the business and the challenges that you have faced. It will take approximately 15 Minutes minutes to complete.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and there are no foreseeable risks associated with it. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for me to learn your opinions.
Your questionnaire responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported in the dissertation anonymously. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, please contact me on 0191 211 5655 or by email at the email address specified below.
Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the questionnaire now by clicking on the Continue button below.
