This study is aimed at identifying the factors that encourage women to venture into<br />

entrepreneurship and the factors that stimulate the success of female entrepreneurs<br />

in business. This study involved 260 female respondents in Johor Bahru. The data<br />

were analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) Version 20.<br />

Descriptive analysis was used to find the frequency and percentage of age, race,<br />

academic qualification, business type, total capital and business performance.<br />

Inferential analysis was used to test the hypotheses, where the total capital and<br />

business performance were dependent variables, while independent variables were<br />

interest, family, skills and capital assistance. The results showed that all variables were<br />

significant to the success of female entrepreneurs. However, the family and interest<br />

factors were the most significant at the 10% significance level.<br />
