A variety of stakeholders has pointed at them as an important ‘untapped source’ of economic growth and development (Minniti and Naudé, 2010). In spite of the budding number of women-led business and a significant increase of initiatives, policies and resources designed to promote and develop women's entrepreneurship, there is gap between Male and Female entrepreneurs. The Present study made an attempt to compare male and female entrepreneurs. To achieve the said objective various research papers, articles, magazines are refereed and comparison is made through the observation. From the present comparison it is found that female owned firms are smaller and likely to choose sole proprietorship as a legal form and they are under presented in manufacturing and mostly found in services.
