Abstract: The gender focus referred to in economic empowerment results in huge interest at the regional level. This investigation analyzes the relationship among the entrepreneur women's profile and access to microcredit in the state of Coahuila, Mexico. The empirical questionnaire reached a sample of 50 micro and small corporations in Saltillo, Coahuila. We apply a survey that measures perception of business women in the sectors of industry, commerce and services. There is evidence of the conjunction of motives, necessity and opportunity to start a business. They have major concentration in commerce and services sectors, and more than 75% of the women have economic dependents. There is no discrimination regarding access to microcredit, however not all possibilities or offers that exist are used.
