Podmínky a faktory vstupu na trh pro malé a střední podnikatele v České republice v období 2004–2017

The bachelor thesis deals with the conditions and factors of market entry for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs in the Czech Republic in connection with the accession to the European Union. The work analyzes the year 2002, in order to collect information and to emphasize the differences before and after the Czech Republic's accession to the European Union, then in 2007 and finally in 2017. The hypothesis examined is the statement that the business environment improves in connection with the Czech Republic's accession to the European Union. The aim of the thesis is to create a single image of a defined business environment using the data analysis method and to confirm or refute the given hypothesis. The theoretical part describes the basic terminology of the business environment and presents what other topics are concerned. The practical part analyzes the established years according to the Czech Republic's legislation and official statistical sources. It also focuses on the conditions of starting a business in the form of a limited liability company and states the position of the Czech Republic in a global perspective. Membership in the European Union increases the number of business support programs, but at the same time, the volume of legislative rules is increasing. Nevertheless, the analysis has shown that the start of business in the Czech Republic is becoming easier to enter the European Union and each year is closer to the economies of countries where the start of business is the easiest.
