Explanation:
1. Entrepreneurs create new businesses
Entrepreneurs are not the only ones who benefit from their enterprises. They give direct and indirect employment for several people in a country. Lack of employment is a big issue in several countries regardless of whether they are developed or not. Through employment, employers are effective in eradicating the chronic problem of unemployment in the country, this in turn creates a path for economic growth of the country. Entrepreneurial growth is seen as a vehicle for generating employment since it promotes both small and large businesses. Some nations that are more developed can be leaders in entrepreneurial activities. Developing countries such as Ghana can benefit from experiences of developed nations such as Japan, USA and UK.
2. Entrepreneurs add to the income of the nation
Entrepreneurs literally produce new wealth. Existing businesses may stay confined to existing markets and may get high returns. New and improved products, services or technology from investors enable the development of new markets and the creation of new wealth. The cascading impact of higher employment and better earning contribute to an improved national revenue because of taxes and higher government expenditure. The government can use these earnings to invest in other sectors that are struggling and for human capital.

3. Creation of social change
Entrepreneurs offer new goods and services which directly support freedom by lessening dependence on outdated technologies and systems. This in turn improves the quality of life, boosts morale and economic freedom. If people have to stop working and travel far off for their needs, it would greatly affect their ventures, income and productivity. With needs taken care of and resources close by, they are able to concentrate on their jobs without worrying about the basic needs. They devote more time to work, hence bringing about economic development.
4. Economic and community development
Promoting small businesses does not require a lot of capital; meaning they can be started in semi-urban and rural areas. These businesses will create employment in these regions and therefore reduce rural-urban migration. Since a large population of Ghanaians live in the rural areas, the government should put in place measure to encourage entrepreneurship. Small businesses in these areas also use local resources and are convenient to rural and semi-urban areas.
