Abstract: This research was conducted to know the challenge of women entrepreneurs in accessing funds in Kumasi. In this research, the main research design was a case study. This case study was a quantitative research. This type of case study was applied to fix the mind closely upon the purpose of the study. The sample was taken from women entrepreneurs in Kumasi. The total population was about 7000 with 4000 as sample size. A closed questionnaire was disseminated using systematic stratified random sampling to get the sample size from all areas of Kumasi. The study found that almost all women entrepreneurs in Kumasi agreed that funds give life to entrepreneurship, control the operation of entrepreneurship, help to acquire assets and help in getting resources like human, tools and equipment, etc. the study revealed that some women entrepreneurs in Kumasi lack properties to serve as collateral in accessing loan from banks. Also, they lose their money in the hands of robbers and get funds from relatives and friends on conditions. The study concludes that women entrepreneurs in Kumasi get their source of fund from personal savings, relatives and friends, investment returns and banks.
