Women entrepreneurs need to possess a variety of skills. They need to be skillful in business management, marketing their product and they should also be financially literate. This will enable them to determine the cost of the products they produce or services they render, set prices and determine the level of activity to run successful firms. Moreover, financial literacy enables women entrepreneurs to manage all the financial resources (cash, receivables and payables) of their business.
