Each of Sue's short, insightful, honest and well-formatted portraits is inspirational reading for early stage entrepreneurs.

Clearly, businesswomen are not a homogenous group; however, these stories reflect our research indicating that women tend to prefer to minimise and closely manage debt and are extremely well prepared by the time they approach banks or investors.
