Many young people tend to present low financial literacy needed to make financial decisions in their self-interest. This problem affects activities related to entrepreneurship as well, concerning limited knowledge of available forms of financing or willingness to run own business overall. Nonetheless, according to the scientific literature and the current state of research, the awareness of the financial literacy importance seems to be growing gradually. This paper is based upon a research of students from Poland and Spain in context of entrepreneurial activities and financial literacy. Connection between those two phenomena is discussed.
