Summary/Abstract: The new sense of the term entrepreneur (in force from 30 April 2018) is specified in the form of a legal definition formed in Article 4 of the Act of 6 March 2018 – Law of Entrepreneurs. In accordance with this regulation, an entrepreneur is a natural person, legal person and organisational entity not being a legal person, to whom a separate law grants legal capacity, and who performs an entrepreneurial activity. This article is aimed at pointing at key differences in the identification of entrepreneur between the new and the former definition (which was formed in Article 4 of the Act of 2 July 2004 on Freedom of Entrepreneurial Activity). It also indicates the consequences, including the difficulties, that this reform may cause in practice.
