Entrepreneurship emphasize on conversion of their productive idea into reality which
make them, different from other business. In simple words, it include starting of new business
which involve working or role of various department to achieve overall objective of an
organisation. Whereas, an Entrepreneur is one that manages the operations of various business
by taking financial risk with the objective to achieve their pre determined plans (Ahlstrom and
Ding, 2014). Thus, an entrepreneur run its own venture which depends upon the innovative idea
rather than carrying forward the existing ones. They are basically responsible to encounter the
risk, perform their business with restricted resources and gain huge success.
Various types of Entrepreneurial Ventures: There are several types of entrepreneurial
ventures which are determined below:
Small business entrepreneurship: It refer to the people who run their business at small
level or scale such as consultant, grocery store and so on. They basically cover those people who
are in their reach or mile radius. The legal definition of "small" varies by nation and sector,
varying from less than 15 staff under the 2009 Australian Fair Work Act, 50 staff in the
European Union, and less than 500 staff qualifying for many U.S. staff. Small business
management programs. It is also possible to classify small companies according to other
techniques such as sales, assets or net income. They run business with the purpose to fulfil their
need due to which they do not have any motive to earn huge profit. For example, Seed

entrepreneur investment scheme offer various tax benefit to the investor who are keen to make
an investment in small or start up business (Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme, 2019).
Scalable start up entrepreneurship: They start a business with the dream to earn profit
due to which they invite various financial investors. Without extra sky-high incremental
expenses, a scalable company can boost its revenue that explore its typology in the
entrepreneurial world. Defining when your start up is prepared for it is the first and most
important step. It is evaluated that in 2011, about 3200 start-ups were surveyed in the Startup
Genome Report. The findings were as follows: due to early scaling, 74 percent of startups failed.
Moreover, premature start-ups are growing 20 times slower than correctly scaled start-ups
(Startups Genome. 2019). In context to Abundance investment, their main motive is to expand
the business for which they take risk with the hope to get back huge return. Thus, because of it

Large company entrepreneurship: Such entrepreneur significantly cater the changing
need as well as taste of customer according they come up with innovation. The growth of large
entrepreneurs based upon customer marker and product development of the organisation it is
essential in term of managing the customer experience and managing the changes with different
working conditions. As apple is one of the large entrepreneurship that was formed in term of
exploring the business at large scale (Apple market growth. 2019). For instance, Sainsbury which
is leading retail store proving new product in new market to acquire huge market.
Social Entrepreneurship: It include those entrepreneur who basically make efforts to
cover the social needs of people. it is evaluated that Through their initiatives, these people are
prepared to take on the risk and effort to generate beneficial changes in society. Broad use of
moral methods such as investment effect, consumerism consciousness, and corporate social

which company provide education to the one who is deprived of it.
Typology of entrepreneurship: It refer to the differentiate of various entrepreneurial
venture based on the purpose, structure, size as well as formation. Further, it includes three types
of groups such as individual group, public sector as well as corporate entrepreneurship.

as small or medium business are the part of typology. Moreover, one of the types of entrepreneur

is survival venture that helps to cater those families that are deprived of fulfilling the basic needs.
Thus, it cover financial expectation which depicts that an entrepreneurial typology is an
essential part of scalable entrepreneurship.
P2: Discuss similarities as well as difference between various entrepreneurial venture

opportunity or to provide solution of any problem. There are different types of venture which

P3.Interpret and assess relevant data and statistics to illustrate how micro and small businesses
impact on the economy.
In business scenarios, entrepreneurial business could be divided into equal portion that
are micro and macro level (Busenitz and et. al., 2014). As per these scenario these types of
business are required minimum amount as compared from large companies or business. This is
because these business are mainly focused to deliver the best services and develop small profit

P4: Explain the importance of small businesses and business start-ups to the growth of the social
economy
Social economy is a type of economy in which enterprises by rich diversities of
organisation and foundation are called as social economy. Start up is a firm that initiated through
entrepreneurs or individual founders to search repeatable as well as scalable business model
(Welter and Gartner, 2016). Under this, founders design the start ups through validate business
model. The small businesses are partnerships, sole proprietorship, owned corporations etc. which
have less staff as comparison to regular size corporation. The small business need support of

government in order to operate business in an economy. Their main role is to enhance growth of
an economy and also contribute efforts to maximise revenue for country. Start ups and small
business both are imparting in economic growth after Brexit. This situation arise to British after
exit from the European Union. These firms provided full support to nation and aids in economic
growth. The importance of contribution of Start ups and small business in social economy
mention below (Dugguh, 2017):
Employment- The small and start-up both businesses are start as well as operate their
business in the local or small areas. These both are helpful in provide the employment services to
people. These are helpful in develop the many job opportunities for those people which have
some knowledge, creative or innovative mind etc. Through this firms can attain their short term
objectives in an effective manner (Gundry, Ofstein and Kickul, 2014).
New product innovation- Start ups and small scale firms contributes in development of
social economy by providing the innovative products as well as services to people. It will help in
gain attention of large number of people and sustain business for long time period. Through
introducing the innovative products at market place, firms can enhance its profit and develop
social economy (Dunne And et. al., 2016).
Enhance living standard- As small and start up businesses are helpful in provide the job
opportunities to people at large scale in United Kingdom. Through this, local people can earn
money and their living standard will be enhanced. With the help of this, people are able to spend
their money to purchase the needed and luxurious products in an effective manner.
Increasing domestic business culture- At the time of Brexit, start up has played a
necessary role because the large size business organisations affected more. In this way, country
faced the problem of less economy and also negatively impact the living standard of people. In
context to this, they expanded business during the loss of economy and also contribute towards
economy. When the business at domestic level get increased then it helps in grow social
economy in an effective or significant manner (Stamboulis and Barlas, 2014).
These all the mention points stated that small and start ups both contributed towards the
social economic of country during Brexit. It is necessary for United Kingdom to increase Foreign
Direct Investment in order to overcome from any kind of uncertainties. On the other hand, start
ups can enhance their investment for introducing the innovative idea or develop innovative
products at market place. It will help in gain attention customers as well as foreign investors.
