Entrepreneurial Guide

Entrepreneurship covers the activities that contribute to the formation and growth of a company, the primary consequence of which is the creation of value. Forms of entrepreneurship vary according to the type of organization in place. Many "high-potential" start-ups call on venture capitalists or business angels to develop their activity. Many structures exist today to advise potential entrepreneurs, such as business start-up consultancies, government agencies, incubators and non-governmental organizations. Another definition of entrepreneurship describes the process of discovering, evaluating and exploiting opportunities. Thus, an entrepreneur is defined as "someone who acts not on the basis of the resources he or she currently controls, but who tirelessly pursues an opportunity to create a company or enterprise".
