The first set considered the level of education of the woman entrepreneur, the number of years of experience she had before starting the business, and the extent to which this previous experience was in a field related to the business. The second set concerned the business itself: the number of permanent employees, the type of business premises, the amount of capital invested, the sector of activity, the age of the business and its potential. Consultants carried out an initial diagnostic of each woman’s business to identify its strengths and weaknesses and any difficulties, as well as areas where coaching would be beneficial.
