The owners of enterprises in a small town are characterised in two contexts. First, the entrepreneurs' features (age, sex, education, income) are presented against those of other inhabitants of Krosno Odrzanskie - a small town in the Polish-German borderland. Second, differences regarding the characteristics of social position and opinions on transformation among owners of various-size enterprises are presented. Based on this, the author attempts at specifying whether the entrepreneurs' features suggest their interest in the course of transformational changes (leading, e.g., to political and economical stabilization or the transparency of the law), their enhancement and acceleration. According to the assumed terminology, the emerging, as a result of transformation, of an element of social structure possessing the mentioned features can be regarded as a pro-transformation change. Data used in the analyses presented in the article are mainly taken from opinion polls conducted in the years 2007-2008 in Krosno Odrzanskie.
