Summary. This study identifies nine categories of barriers preventing rural women from starting and growing businesses in Iran: demographic factors, personality traits, family characteristics, education and skills gaps, cultural and social norms, access to facilities and services, legal frameworks, financial constraints, institutional support, and geographical conditions. Researchers interviewed entrepreneurship experts and rural women entrepreneurs using qualitative methods to develop a comprehensive understanding of these obstacles.
