Small and medium-sized enterprises in today's economic system are defined as the power that can to a large extent affect the improvement of a particular national economic structure. The small and medium sized economy in Croatia is one of the potential generators of employment and economic and economic development. The European Union represents a big chance for the Croatian small-scale economy, as small and medium-sized enterprises in Croatia are currently significantly lagging behind for the economic efficiency of the small-scale economy of the European Union. How much entrepreneurship is important for economic growth and development is confirmed by the fact that a Strategy for Entrepreneurship Development 2013-2020 has been developed, which is a direct response to a brief overview of the conditions with the general aim of increasing the competitiveness of the small economy in Croatia. Realization of the overall objective will be supported by measures to address five strategic objectives: improving economic efficiency, improved access to finance - developing various financial opportunities for small business entities and removing the financial gap for small businesses, promoting entrepreneurship, improving entrepreneurial skills, supporting lifelong learning employees in small business entities and improved business environment - upgrading progress achieved by removing the remaining administrative burdens and facilitating business in Croatia.
