ABSTRACT Previous research has noted differences between entrepreneurial enterprises owned by men and women. Some authors have attributed these differences to bias against women entrepreneurs, whereas others have focused on hypothesized differences in risk preferences and lifestyle. This study examines differences between the form of legal organization chosen by male and female owned entrepreneurial enterprises as an indicator of growth aspirations and risk preferences. Specifically we argue that the choice to organize as a corporation rather than a sole proprietorship is generally associated with greater growth aspirations.
