Women entrepreneurs, particularly those from ethnic minority backgrounds, encounter complex regulatory requirements, lack of tailored mentorship, and insufficient institutional support. The impact of economic uncertainties, such as Brexit, further exacerbates these challenges, disproportionately affecting women-led businesses...
