Summary/Abstract: Institutions in various regions can have a significant impact on investment decisions because of their direct and indirect effect on the business environment. The aim of the article was to evaluate the importance of business location factors determined among others by the activity in Warmia and Mazury voivodeship local authorities. The study made it possible to determine what part of Warmia and Mazury voivodeship local authorities actively supported the development of entrepreneurship in their area, and to indicate which location factors were less important, and which were gaining in importance. Local authorities did not apply any action in the field of enterprise development on average in every fifth commune. According to Warmia and Mazury voivodeship local authorities former location criteria do not give way to quality criteria, but are similarly important.
