This statistic shows the result of a survey on main motivations for entrepreneurs of SMEs in Finland in 2017. According to the survey, the main motivator behind all surveyed respondents was being able to employ themselves. For solo entrepreneurs, it was also important to be able to determine their own schedules. Moreover, nearly 50 percent of SME company owners with more than one employee stated that they wanted to determine how their workplace was.
