Out of the above total female-led businesses, 1.45% (827) of them have more than £250,000 cash in the bank. This is considerably less in Scotland, with only 0.87% (21) of the companies having this wealth. On the other hand, Scotland has a higher percentage of female-led businesses with over £50,000 cash in the bank at 8.55% of the initial figure, compared to 7.32% for the UK.
