Entrepreneurship is the willingness to take risks and develop ideas in order to create viable businesses. It is the capacity and willingness to organise and manage a business venture. The role played by the entrepreneur includes developing a business plan, hiring the human resources required, while also developing suitable financial systems to ensure success. This is something that can be quite challenging and entrepreneurs need as much support as they can get.
