Currently, Europe is a significant destination for increased migrant flows, making it an especially intriguing backdrop for researching the various aspects of this extremely relevant subject. The study employs the interpretive research paradigm using a qualitative research design to interpret findings. Under this paradigm, the narrative method of qualitative research design has been employed in the study to narrate the story of international female migrant’s entrepreneurial journey with challenges that impact entrepreneurial journey. By using the purposive sampling approach, four international female migrant entrepreneurs engaging in entrepreneurial activities were selected in European countries. The study has presented how the six principal challenges impact on female migrant entrepreneurs and their businesses: financial access, foreignness, gender, origin, newness, and smallness.
