You should choose one example of each type of entrepreneurship (small business, scalable startup, high growth firms, social enterprise), at least one of which should be a local business. You must explore and compare different business environments for each of your examples and evaluate their impact and importance on the economy at different levels. You should include data and statistics to support your findings.

Primary research could be conducted for your choice of local business. Primary research may include the use of interviews, existing videos or questionnaires completed by practicing entrepreneurs.
