Abstract: This study aims to recognise influential factors for women initiating them to involve into business and the relationship among those dynamics. Current research acclimates theoretical model and hypotheses based on past literature to examine the relationship among essential aspects. To test the hypotheses, this paper develops a structured questionnaire and is pre-tested before the survey. Using CFA and multiple regression analysis, this paper has identified that technological support (TECS), training (TRA), tax benefits (TAXB), contribution for family (CFF), feminism (FEM), and entrepreneur skills (ENS) are essential dynamics for women entrepreneurship development. TECS, TAXB and CFF motivate to participate in TRA which enriches ENS for entrepreneurship involvement. Again, TECS influences FEM; and FEM affects ENS. Finally, entrepreneurship skilled women are likely to involve in business. Results of the study will provide guidelines for stakeholders who are dealing with women entrepreneurship development and will aid in design strategies.
