This article aims to identify the main legal and administrative barriers which limit the functionality and development of micro-, small, and medium-size businesses. The study was based on three main research methods: document analysis, statistical method and diagnostic survey, which comprised in-depth interview. The study involved 58 owners or managers of small businesses from the Opole region. Results of this study confirmed the existence of barriers related to procedures, institutions, the judiciary, legal system, legal protection and public procurement. Earlier work related mainly to barriers of economic nature, but rarely analyzed legal and administrative barriers. The findings may be of interest to public authorities which should take measures to bridge the barriers reported by the surveyed entrepreneurs. Future research should include a larger group of companies from the entire Poland. As particularly important, it should also consider the issues of public procurement, which will be considered also in the subsequent work of the authors.References
