Abstract
This study aimed to examine the challenges and opportunities facing
female entrepreneurs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia within the context
of the rapid socio economic changes driven by Vision 2030. The research
sought to identify the key barriers that hinder women from establishing and
growing their businesses, as well as the emerging opportunities that
support their participation in the entrepreneurial sector. To achieve this, the
study adopted a quantitative methodology and used a structured
questionnaire consisting of 15 closed ended items. The survey was
distributed to a purposive sample of 67 Saudi female entrepreneurs
representing various sectors. The data collected focused on financial,
social, legal, and institutional factors that shape women’s entrepreneurial
experiences.
