Abstract	Women entrepreneurs have been considered to use prior experience/knowledge as a determinant to enterprise performance. One of the questions that one is left asking is, does prior experience/knowledge determine the performance of women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nairobi County, Kenya? A survey was carried out among the women entrepreneurs across the County. The sample comprised 158 small and medium sized women entrepreneurs. Data was subjected to computer aided statistical analysis that included descriptive statistics, ANOVA and regression techniques. The results revealed that prior experience/knowledge is indeed a determinant of performance of women-owned enterprises in Nairobi County. The Pvalue of 0.000 (Less than 0.05) implies that the model of prior experience/knowledge on performance of the enterprises is significant at 95% confidence level. It is recommended that there is need for women entrepreneurs to start enterprises in their areas of experience/expertise so as to enhance enterprise performance.
