Description Women’s entrepreneurship is important for women’s position in society, and for economic development of a country. It opens up new avenues for creating employment opportunities for women and men. It is matter of encouraging that a good number of women are contributing in the economic progress of Bangladesh making them involved in medium and small enterprises. In this process policy related factors and institutional factors played vital role. Government agencies provide policy, legal and financial supports taking active support from non-state actors. Specially, NGOs have been working in Bangladesh from 1980s to crate viable social environment for business women.  Though more women are now involved in economic activities than past, women constitute only less than 10 per cent of the country's total business entrepreneurs. Women do business in masculine society where they encounter policy related problems, and they did not get proper supports from all respective institutions because of corruptions and lack of information. It is assumed that combined initiatives of Government and non-government institutes will be successful to encountering the changes of business women in Bangladesh.
