Female only business events are springing up all over the country but the idea is a double-edged sword – when starting a business you want all the help you can get but what about equality? Would men only events have entrepreneurs up in arms? Members of BusinessZone.co.uk's sister website UK Business Forums have their say.

There are plenty of women only networking events out there but should they be seen as a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to get advice from female peers when starting up or should business just mean business, whatever your gender?
Dragons' Den judges James Caan and Deborah Meaden and social entrepreneur Karen Darby are some of the successful entrepreneurs who feature in our exclusive videos.
