Female founders focused on growth while male counterparts concerned about costs

ExpenseOnDemand has commissioned an extensive survey of business leaders to understand how firms are utilising tech , the demand for tailored solutions and the biggest challenges they face over the next 12 months . The survey showed what female founders and business leaders are focused on for the year ahead with one in three ( 36 %) stating that increasing profit was the main focus while 23 % are looking to grow their businesses .

In comparison , male founders and business leaders are less optimistic with 40 % focused on managing costs and nearly one in four ( 23 %) concerned about clients paying them .
Furthermore , 19 % of male founders admitted they are concerned about the future and surviving the next 12 months with only 16 % of females admitting this is a concern .
The findings show how female founders take a different approach to managing their business compared to their male counterparts , often taking a much more optimistic and pragmatic approach , especially when it comes to planning for the future , with millions more focused on growth and increasing profit .
They are also much more likely to implement the right tech solutions with 16 % saying automating as many processes as possible was critical to helping with growth .

The programme will create awareness among B2B IT traders on how they can leverage the TEXUB B2B marketplace platform to expand their reach and business globally , by accessing it locally .
Following the global health crisis in 2020 , B2B decision-makers noticed that online and remote selling was as effective – if not more – as in-person engagement .
