Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the concentration of active business entities and their regional distribution. The objective of this article is to assess which regions down to the level of districts show the highest share of active entrepreneurs. The term of active entrepreneurship is associated with a statistically noticeable category when an entrepreneur is active in terms of tax administration or in terms of social security. To analyze the concentration of active entrepreneurship, the internal resources of the Czech Statistics Office have been used. These data have not been publicly available so far and so they could contribute significantly to explain the trend of business development in the Czech Republic in the last six years. In further research, the analysis of the concentration of business activity may reveal the causes of identified disparities, which is not the primary objective of this paper. Nevertheless, the article evaluates the existence of the relationship between unemployment in particular districts and the number of active entrepreneurs per 1 000 inhabitants, which could be statistically proved. As the criteria have been analyzed, the paper can enable to compare business activity at an international level and contribute to update the data of global databases, which do not have current data and a unified methodology of reporting in this respect.
