Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to find out which factors are important for the initiation of a business. There were 1034 students from a regional university in the Czech Republic within the research group. It was determined that almost 23% of the students declared a positive attitude towards business and they considered their own business objectives after finishing their studies. By comparing individual factors it was noted that the most important factors were not determined by economic factors (lack of finance for the initiation of a business), but rather by social factors (family tradition).
