Why women are on top
We're constantly hearing about the problems faced by female entrepreneurs and how they can't get a toehold in the business world for oh so many reasons...well, a new report's turning that theory on its head.
Apparently, by 2010, more women than men will be starting ventures in major areas of industry such as business consultancy, clothing retail, cafés, bars and restaurants.
Barclays Bank, which carried out the study, reckons there was an almost 10% increase in the number of women starting businesses this year.
John Davis of Barclays told the Daily Mail:
"With a new business, it is particularly important to put the customer first. Women are very capable at doing that."I hate to resort to stereotypes but, when it comes to empathy and customer service, women tend to be better."
