Introduction
What enterprise is and what it involves
A for-profit corporation or company is known as an enterprise, but it is most
linked with entrepreneurial endeavours. "Enterprising" is a term used to
describe people who are successful in business. Legal businesses come in a
variety of shapes and sizes, with the most frequent successful enterprises
being in the United States.

person's or an organization's willingness to take risks. It takes a lot of courage
to start a new business. Even if the entrepreneur has done extensive market
research, there is always the possibility that clients could reject the product,
resulting in a loss. Furthermore, an entrepreneur should, demonstrate
initiative and the ability to make things happen. Entrepreneurs with the desire,
determination, and energy to overcome obstacles and create new firms are
successful, for example JP Morgan. Furthermore, entrepreneurs need to
engage in new business endeavours. This is to recognise business prospects
that will fill holes in the market, an entrepreneur needs to be imaginative.

challenges are made clearly, and timely action that is taken.
