Abstract

The main goal of the paper is to explore the situation of the business activity in Poland and Spain in recent years. Entrepreneurship is an important factor for economic growth and competitiveness. The changing socio-economic reality forces entrepreneurs to search for new solutions in order to maintain its position on the market. The implementation of new policies or programmes by local or national authorities also remains the key instrument to stabilize the business environment.
The methods of desk research analysis from the literature of the subject and data statistics were mainly used in this paper. The transformation of Polish economy in 1990s, then joining the European Union in 2004 allowed to increase the potential of this country, what has been significant for business opportunities. The growing activity was compared with the survivability and the frequency of suspensions of Polish business entities. Given that entrepreneurship in Poland has been developing faster over recent decades despite the shorter period of market economy, the authors attempt to indicate the factors of lower entrepreneurial activity in Spain. The results showed the great importance of non-economic matters like education or motivation together with economic ones that stimulate the business development.
