The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the connection between entrepreneurship and socially responsible business in theory and practice. Research was conducted in the municipality of Bebrini and its movement in the entrepreneurial direction. The entrepreneurial environment in today's world is increasingly coming to the fore, support is becoming steadily more important, not only financial but also advisory, simpler and easier use of business instruments, reduction of necessary processes and paperwork, local trade and similar. Following the example of other developed countries, Croatia should recognize the importance of the entrepreneurial environment and develop these areas as much as possible. The key to achieving the general goals is the strengthening of local and regional selfgovernments through encouraging entrepreneurship and the economy. Local authorities should be used not only for regulating and monitoring the local area, but also for their support and encouragement of local businesses, strengthening communities and enabling progress for both the population and the local self-government. Through all this, it is necessary to add elements of sustainability to economic, ecological and social aspects in the local community and beyond. Smaller municipalities such as Bebrina still keep these things under their control but investment is still needed.
