What is an Entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur is a visionary individual or part of a small group who embarks on creating and managing a new business venture. Distinct from small business owners in scale and risk, entrepreneurs often engage in high-stakes projects requiring substantial investment, typically sourced from investors rather than small loans. Their path is characterised by innovation and originality, and they assume significant risks in their endeavours. However, this risk is balanced by the potential for substantial rewards if the venture succeeds. Entrepreneurs epitomise the spirit of risk-taking and innovation in the business world, always seeking to forge new paths and create impactful ventures.
