dc.description.abstract |
Previous research has shown that small business growth may be the consequence of various factors. Entrepreneurs face
various challenges in the growth of their businesses. A lack of support and general resources are some of the challenges they
face. This causal research study explored the impact that the use of government support initiatives has on the growth of the
businesses of female entrepreneurs in Tshwane South Africa. A quantitative study was done and a sample of 111 female
entrepreneurs participated in this study. Data were obtained by means of structured questionnaires administered via a webbased
survey. The data were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The findings clearly indicate that
despite these entrepreneurs getting any assistance from government institutions their businesses showed growth. The findings
of this study may be extended to government support institutions so that they can improve the quality design and cost
effectiveness of support services. |
