Nie ulega wątpliwości, że w Polsce aktywność małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw odgrywa zasadniczą i znaczącą rolę w rozwoju gospodarczym. Wspomniane przedsiębiorstwa mają fundamentalne znaczenie nie tylko dla zrównoważonego funkcjonowania całej gospodarki, lecz pozwalają również na czerpanie korzyści z efektów dynamicznego rozwoju przez przyszłe pokolenia. Autor opracowania w wyniku przeprowadzenia badań postuluje m.in., że ponad 1,6 mln podmiotów sektora MSP w Polsce, to dominująca siła polskiej gospodarki oraz źródło wzrostu, innowacji, zatrudnienia i integracji społecznej. Małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa cechują się elastycznością i łatwością dostosowania do sytuacji rynkowej oraz reagowania na potrzeby rynku. Liczba nowo powstałych przedsiębiorstw w Polsce jest wciąż bardzo duża w porównaniu do liczby zlikwidowanych podmiotów, co świadczy choćby o wysokim potencjale przedsiębiorczości Polaków. Według danych z GUS wynika, że firmy działające obecnie w Polsce są miejscem pracy dla ponad 6,5 mln osób. Oznacza to, że aż 7 na 10 pracujących to osoby zatrudnione w sektorze małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw. Pod względem poziomu przedsiębiorczości Polska nie odstaje od reszty Europy. Pod względem liczby aktywnych przedsiębiorstw zajmuje ona szóste miejsce w Unii Europejskiej.
