What is an entrepreneur?

• A. A person who buys stocks
• B. A person who takes a financial risk to start a business
• C. A person who designs buildings
• D. A person who works for the government

Answer: (B)

An entrepreneur is someone who starts a new business and takes a financial risk to turn an idea into a real company. They notice a need people have, figure out a product or service to meet that need, and gather the money, people, and steps to make the business happen. This focus on creating something new and risking resources to make it grow is what defines an entrepreneur. Buying stocks means investing in existing companies, not starting one. Designing buildings is the work of an architect. Working for the government is being employed by the government, not launching a new business.
