Abstract

This study intends to critically assess the mainstream enterprise support service provider agencies in Glasgow. A topic fits with the conference track “Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Family Business—Women entrepreneurship”. The literature review suggested that enterprise support agencies tend to not only lack engagement with displaced women entrepreneurs (Mwaura, S., Levie, J., Lassalle, P., Stoyanov, S., & Carter, S. “Taking Steps to Combat Barriers to Ethnic Minority Enterprise in Scotland” 2018; Edwards et al., 2016; UNHCR, 2021; Savazzi et al., 2020; Abebe, in J Small Bus Econ 60:315–350, (2023) ) but also displaced women entrepreneurs do not trust these agencies (Nijhoff, K., (2019) “Support Programs for Entrepreneurial Refugees in the Netherlands. An Overview of Practical Experience”, The Hague University of Applied Sciences. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/342040577_SUPPORT_PROGRAMS_FOR_ENTREPRENEURIAL_REFUGEES_IN_THE_NETHERLANDS_An_overview_of_practical_experiences . (Accessed on 18th 03. 2023).; Bikorimana & Nziku, 2022). A qualitative research study based on semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with seven mainstream enterprise agencies responsible for providing business support services in Glasgow was conducted. These study findings reveal poor engagement due to immigration constraints; lack of social network; as well as lack of contact with displaced women entrepreneurs.
