Ograniczenia małych firm w wykorzystaniu zewnętrznych źródeł wsparcia dla ich przetrwania
Limitations of small firms in using external sources of support for their survival

Summary/Abstract: The impact on creating the conditions for economic activity, in particular micro and small businesses, is a part of the policy on both the social and economic sphere in the European Union countries. The economic and social consequences of this policy are increasingly discussed, pointing out the benefits and risks of its implementation. In addition to the undoubted social benefits relevant to the stimulation of entrepreneurship among the citizens and moving some of them from the sphere of the employee to the employer (for example, self-employment), the sense of independence and freedom in making business decisions, there are comments on the high rates of liquidation of the newly created (often subsidized) companies, unprepared entrepreneurs, disappointments and financial burdens. This situation points to the need to identify the factors limiting the rational use of forms of support for small businesses.
