Similarities of different entrepreneurial ventures
In an entrepreneurship, there are different ventures and each venture is different from
another and it is already discussed above. But at the same time there are certain similarities also
which needs to be taken into consideration (Read and et. al., 2016). For instance, the small
entrepreneurial venture and social ventures, do not work for earning higher level of profitability
and also there is lesser risk involved in both the ventures. The main motive of both the
organisation is to provide better living to the people with basic needs and requirements. Whereas
the large organisations and scalable organisation, are concerned with rendering new and
innovative products to the customers which will be technology enabled. Apart from this, both
these organisations require huge investment of funds and works for the purpose of earning
greater profitability.
 Constant innovation : The large organisation and those who are operating for the
purpose of earning profit are involved in producing regular innovation to the customers.
For example : Apple, etc. as it is involved in producing innovative and new models of I
phone continuously with better features and effectiveness. Apart from this, the Amazon is
also one of the best example of regular innovation where it kept on producing various
new products and services for making their delivery services better and effective.

 Strong willed entrepreneur : The public sector entrepreneur and social entrepreneur has
a similarity that both of these entrepreneur are having strong will power and they stay
motivated and encouraged towards their work. They both work for the common aim of
fulfilling the needs and requirements of the people and contributes in the development of
society (Othman and. et. al., 2017). For instance, the NHS is the public organisation
where the entrepreneur is strongly influenced to work for the betterment of the people by
providing them with health services. Whereas cancer research health centre is the social
organisation which also aims to treat the cancer patients and makes them free from
diseases by providing benefits in their health and medication.
 Funding from some venture capitalist and investors : The managed growth firms and
corporate firms are funded through some investors because they require huge amount of
money. For instance, J P Morgan is the managed growth firm in UK which deals in asset
management and requires heavy investment (Ugorji and Ani, 2018). Whereas, London
stock exchange is a corporate firm which deals in trading and it also requires funding in
form of selling shares and buying shares from different investors.
 Creative idea : The large organisations and profit motive companies who have the aim
of satisfying customers and earning profits works with creative ideas which makes them
attain success day by day. These business enterprise, with their creative ideas can attain
the business objectives and goals and also establish themselves in the market with
creative manner. For instance, the large organisation like Mark and Spencer has
successfully established itself in the market with it is every day innovation in the retail
sector and profit motive companies like Amazon has also differentiated itself successfully
in terms of establishing its store which have no employees and this creative idea has
attained the business profits and goals for the company.
 Sustain against large businesses : The survival business firms and small businesses
have similarity in them which enhances them to sustain their businesses by
accomplishing the financial obligations. In such businesses the main aim of the
companies is to earn sufficient income so that they can afford the food, home and water
for themselves (Eze and Gladys, 2016). For instance, the survival firm are the small
bakeries or mobile shops, etc. where people sell their products in order to earn basic

money. While small businesses are concerned with the plumbers, small vegetable
vendors, etc. who sell their products in order to meet daily food requirements.
TASK2
P3. Interpret and asses relevant data and statistics to illustrate the impact of small and micro
businesses on economy.

the number of employees employed is 1-9. Apart from this, the total turnover of the
enterprise comes under £2 million.
 Small businesses : This kind of enterprise has employees less than 50 and the total
turnover of such companies comes under £10 million.
On the basis of employment
In UK, there is a large number of small and micro businesses which are currently
operating and majority of the local population has engaged themselves in the businesses. In
2018, there were approximately 5.7 million private sector organisations. In the beginning of the
year 2018, there were 5.6 million small businesses in UK. This means that 99.9 per cent
businesses in UK are owned and operated by private players and are SME. Apart from this, Only
0.6 percent of businesses in UK are considered medium sized. Whereas, Micro businesses in UK
are considered to be occupying 96 percent of the private sector businesses which employs 0-9
people only.
On the basis of growth
When the further evaluation and research is done then it has been analysed that the
maximum growing organisations are those where there are less or no number of employees are
employed. This means that majority of the people in the UK are leaving or quitting the job of 9-5
and are engaged in commencing their own businesses (UK SME DATA, STATS AND CHARTS,
2019). London has the highest ratio of SME and this is measured by calculating the number of
businesses per 10,000 employees living in a country in region. It offers 1059 types of businesses
to every 10,000 residents or citizens of the London. The biggest industry in UK for SME is
service industry which comprises of 74 percent of businesses in UK.

On the basis of turnover
The SME is concerned with any business which have less than 250 employees, micro
businesses are those which have 0-9 employees. In 2018 UK, there were total of 5.4 million
micro businesses. As per the latest data from the total proportion of SME, 19 percent of SME are
run and directed by women in UK. These SME’s are recognised in information and
communication sector of UK. Apart from this, the contribution of women in the development of

million people were involved in private sector while in 2018 5.7 million are employed in their
own businesses because of easier government policies and support for establishing their own
ventures.

Interpretation : From this graph, it has been concluded that share of SME is increasing
at an astonishing rate in UK. According to the analyses, in 2018, 96 percent of people are
involved in businesses of micro industries which generates employment opportunities for 33
percent of population and turnover of 21 percent.

Small businesses and starts ups are growing day by day in the country. It has a strong

the well understanding of the needs and requirements of the community. During the

economic crises, majority of the customer remains loyal to their favourite and most
satisfying small businesses and start-ups. They are so flexible that their business can be
started at any place and also by anyone which will make them unique in the perspective
of culture, function and potentiality.
 Meeting social purposes : Many of the small businesses and start ups are also concerned

entrepreneurs worked on some caused like providing education, women empowerment,

Also, when the people purchases the products and offerings of local small businesses and

their basic needs and requirements (Hertel, 2018). This experience of his past has influenced and
fostered him to become a successful entrepreneur. When during his initial years, he went on the
official trip where he recognised the issues which are faced by children like no shoes, unhealthy
water, etc. So then he started a company called TOMS which aims that for every purchase, the
customers will be required to donate a pair of shoes which will satisfy the need of a child. Also,
