An increase in women and older founders have helped to drive the boom in new firms across the countryside, according to GoDaddy’s Venture Forward research initiative.

This compares with 35% of urban microbusinesses being run by female founders.Around a quarter of urban microbusiness owners are over 50, which jumps to 39% for those running rural businesses.
