These factors are described below:

As the name described the survival of entrepreneurship is a situation where the only possible
profit is equal to survival of business. At this level, business can only survive. This situation does
not earn much profit. It is the starting level of management growth (Miles, R.E., 2011).

The entrepreneurial ventures can be of different types and sized. These different types include
the private, public and social enterprise. These types of enterprise have different types of features
and similarities between each other. The public sector entrepreneurial venture can be described
as the ventures that generate the economic prosperity by transforming a status quo economic
activities that describes various facilities of the public services. The public sector entrepreneurial
ventures increase the economy of the company. It helps the organizations of public sector to
achieve the highest levels. Private entrepreneuriale of the ventures refer to that enterprises that
relates to the business by a person for his own profit only. It refers to the self related business by
a person. The both type of entrepreneurial ventures have the similarity of earning profit. These
enterprises are established to earn profit for the company itself. They earn the profit and give this
to the owners. The difference between the two is that the profit is divided into many parts in
public entrepreneurial ventures. In private ventures, the profit remains with limited persons only.
The social enterprises refer to the organizations that works for the social welfare and health of
society. It works only for the well being of the society. The difference of this venture with others
is that it does not aim to earn profits. These ventures can also differentiate on the basis of size of
the enterprise.

Examples of Ventures and difference of them
There are many ventures in the world which can be of anyone that is public, private or social.

organization, the Founder’s card, the young Entrepreneur Council. Private entrepreneur includes
the ventures started y named Andrew Caenegie, Thomas Alva Edison and William all

enterprise will be different according to the members of the enterprises and their facilities. The
growth describes the size of an enterprise. It can be macro, micro or medium. These enterprises
affect the types of the enterprises. The investors of the business pr ventures also get affected by

venture can’t remain the same if it has the opportunity of the big organizations.
P3- Scope, Development and Growth of Entrepreneurship Ventures
The scope of entrepreneurship can be changed with the efforts of an entrepreneur. The scope of
the entrepreneurship has effect on the scope of the business due to its effect of self employed
entrepreneurs. It is the innovation scope of management. There is also the scope of income
generated activities of the business by the ventures that defines the level of income generated by
the company or enterprises. It is the initial growth that reflects or act as it encourages the growth

seven million Euro to forty million Euro. In Canada the employee numbers are five hundred.
Above this ratio, we can’t say that it is a company with no longer registered in small and medium
scale enterprise (Kirzner, I. M. , 1997). It has some reasonable opportunity for the companies
under this act to be a specific of company related activities. The number of the registered

P4- Importance of SME’s LO2
The SME’s have great importance in the level of economy. The SME’s helps in the generation in
the income of lower areas and the lower ventures. It helps to introduce the activities of
developing the societies and cultures. It specially refers to the activities of agriculture, services
and trading of the activities. It relates to the various cities and different incomes. It was
discovered that the small and medium scale enterprise refers to the opportunities that helps to
invest in the project of net present value and the activities of the undergoing things
(Dennis, W. J., 2014). These firms don’t usually have the power to the public funds. These
enterprises depend upon the banks for the activities of finance. The SME’s present strong
position in the case of financial activities and provides social gain. It helps to adapt to change the
new environment and demands of the country. It needs to increase the entrepreneurism of this
level. It helps in the change of innovation. It helps the climate to invest in the activation of the

SME’s Contribution to Economy- M2, LO2
The SME’s occupy the place that provides pride to the economy of the country. It helps the
business in the long run. It provides the ability of sharing the data in the long term business
context and the data for the business return. It has significant role in the growth and development
of the enterprise. The enterprises can be termed as the engine for the growth of the vehicle that

society (Gagliardi, P. , 1986). It utilizes the resources of the local purchases due to the small
business level. It promote the ability of using the raw material in the local level. It helps in the
increment or the development of the country.
Critical Analysis of SME’s impact- D2, LO2
The Small and Medium scale Enterprises reflect on the different levels of the economy. It may
reflect on the levels of local, regional, national and international context of the enterprise. These
different levels of the enterprise affect the level of authority of the organization. In the local
level, it reflect the idea of transforming and use of the local purchases and the local business
effects. The SME’s attract to the local customers towards their small business. It may reflect the
position of the business by different context of the levels. The local government is also

responsible for the current issues in the business context of the development of the local level.
The regional level get affected due to the regions of the enterprise. There are different types of
persons of different regions (Colbert, A. E., & Witt, L. A., 2009). It affects the company at the
big level. The national level get affected by the services of the SME’s at the local level. It
reduces the economy at the national level and the effect of such reduction is the increment at the
local level. It also affect the level of international context by improving the ratio of SME’s at the
global level. It is the international level for boosting the cooperation of cross border region of the
economy.
On point of justification of SME’s impact on economy, we may find that small and medium
scale enterprises impact on economy is justified. There are a lot of entrepreneurs who prefer
small and medium business rather than large scale business. On collecting data for all these
Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, we find that they have more economy impact in
comparison to large one. Numbers of small scale businesses are greater than large scale business.
So, it is obvious that it will have great impact on country’s economy.
