Entrepreneurship is a fundamental branch of the economy that marks the development of a country. More developed countries have highly developed and branched entrepreneurship. What does that mean? Entrepreneurship generates employment, declines in unemployment, increases GDP, develops new technologies and encourages innovation. Every developed country encourages entrepreneurship through various measures and incentives. Without entrepreneurship there is no development of the state and society. The relationship between entrepreneurship and the state, ie. the public sector, is increasingly interdependent. States recognize the importance of their intervention in order to develop entrepreneurship, because in this way the economy of the entire state also develops. It is a cause-and-effect relationship. In recent times, states have established support institutions to help entrepreneurs. The task of these institutions is to create an entrepreneurial climate and help entrepreneurs, especially new entrepreneurs. They best reflect the relationship between the public sector and entrepreneurship. In this paper I want to explore the attitude of the state towards entrepreneurship. Does the Republic of Croatia encourage an entrepreneurial climate and in what way? Is entrepreneurship reserved only for big cities or can you become a successful entrepreneur in rural areas as well? In this paper, I will explore two support institutions, ie. business centers in the capital of Zagreb and in the rural part of Croatia, Krapinsko-zagorska country. What are their starting points, what are their advantages, what are their disadvantages, where are they intertwined and most important whether they are really supportive institutions and assistance to entrepreneurs or just expensive facility at the expense of taxpayers?
