Question

6. (a) Outline two forms of assistance given to Entrepreneurs by the government.

Answer 1

A. One form of assistance given to entrepreneurs by the government is subsidized loans through the Small Business Administration to help get started. Local governments may help entrepreneurs by giving them tax incentives like not charging them property taxes for a set period of time if they locate their new business in their town or county.

B. The government should assist entrepreneurs because new businesses normally mean new jobs, and it is very important to keep the job market healthy. Another reason that they should help entrepreneurs is because small businesses often make big contributions to society, so by helping the small businesses they are helping people in general. For example, a small business that takes care of elderly people in their home are improving the quality of life for the elderly people so that they don’t need to move to a nursing home.
