Abstract
One of the challenges of women entrepreneurs in Nigeria, amid the marginalisation, denial of property rights and socio-cultural drawbacks they suffer, is limited access to finance. This chapter examines the available financial windows for the funding of women’s businesses in the country and advocates that for there to be increase in the access of women entrepreneurs to more funding opportunities, there needs to be increase in the education of women, their management and financial literacy, and there should be removal of entrenched barriers to finance such as collateral and credit history, and cultural limitations which have hamstrung women’s entrepreneurial ventures up until now.
