This book is the result of the collaboration between two excellent academic centres, i.e. the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Silesia in Katowice and the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Rzeszów. The initiative of the collaboration was launched as a result of many seminars, conferences and trainings organized for entrepreneurs by collaborating Department of Public Economic Law, the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Silesia and the Department of Commercial and Economic Law of the University of Rzeszów. In order to meet the expectations of entrepreneurs and people interested in starting and running an enterprise, the authors of this work have dealt with the issues related to economic activity that were the subject of the most frequent questions and doubts during the meetings with entrepreneurs. At the same time, in order to facilitate the reading of the book, the authors tried to avoid complicated legal phrases, and thus used language intelligible to all instead of a difficult legal language.The opening chapters of the book introduce the issue of economic activity, which is of interest to every entrepreneur (the concept of economic activity and its principles, the concept of an entrepreneur). The subsequent chapters are about the rights and obligations of entrepreneurs resulting from their starting and running an enterprise. The chapters deal with entrepreneurial registers and registration procedures, as well as with various legal forms within which entrepreneurs may run a business or other activity of non-profit character. Another, extremely important issue related to the entrepreneur’s business activity, and comprised in this study are tax issues. The following chapter has been dedicated to the problems concerning the employment of employees. A separate chapter is about the regulation of economic activity, i.e. legal forms of constraining the constitutionally warranted and many times statutorily confirmed the principle of freedom of economic activity. Of considerable significance are also chapters on the legal possibilities of raising capital (inter alia, public procurement) through cooperation with the so-called public sector (capital market law, specificity of EU funds, public-private partnership), and the protection of developed ideas (protection of industrial property). Since every entrepreneur is subject to the control exercised by various control or supervisory bodies, the work contains a chapter discussing the procedure of control over an entrepreneur.The subject matter of this study has been selected from a wide range of legal regulations relating to the entrepreneur's business activity, however it covers only a small part of it. The authors' intention was not to make a broad, detailed or analytical presentation of complicated, though interesting legal issues in this field, but to outline only a selected issues. Therefore, the work is addressed primarily to those who are not lawyers and who are interested in starting or are already running an enterprise.We hope that reading the book will encourage the reader to look further for more detailed studies of the issues covered in the work, and that it will facilitate making economic decisions.
