Abstract

In modern business conditions there are a large number of limiting factors for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. These factors can be both internal and external and are treated both as opportunities and threats. Given the need to overcome many barriers in the development of entrepreneurship in order to stimulate the improvement of business performance of existing SMEs, one of the forms of extending business support is the so-called entrepreneurial infrastructure within which the key institutions are also the regional enterprise and development agencies. In Chapter 3, the author proposes structured procedures of establishing regional SME agencies as precursors of regional development and rural agencies. Proposed is a set of forms in an underlying universal process of strategic planning for these institutions having rural development in hindsight. The discussed regional SME agencies can essentially be replicated on other support infrastructure of this kind. This chapter completes the first section of the book.
