Mentors give you the opportunity to draw on their experience right away -- and for free. Here are some local organizations that provide support to women entrepreneurs in that regard.

Women leading in a man dominated industry

Ms. Houareau says: In recent years, we have witnessed economic changes and reforms in Seychelles, as well as significant development of the private sector. Whilst the years have brought great improvement, there still remain significant barriers when it comes to starting and operating a business. However, as a woman in business, I am grateful that gender is not an obstacle to doing business in Seychelles.
