Introduction

Someone who, rather than working as an employee, runs their own business and takes all the risks! The entrepreneur will also get the rewards of their business. The entrepreneur is commonly seen as a business leader and innovator of new ideas.

"For me, an entrepreneur is somebody who sees an opportunity and is able to reach out and grasp it for their own benefit - the benefit of their family, their business - and very importantly, for the benefit of the community."
Sir Tom Farmer CBE on being an entrepreneur
