An interest to start own business might be influenced by many factors.

We as university teachers are mostly interested in questions of education and training of young people in business and entrepreneurship. If the main purpose of our research was to determine the current students interested in business and especially their orientation in how to do business, so we channeled our research on a group of students from faculties dealing with the development of the two fields of study. Our paper shows the results of our study. In the research we used questionnaires on 126 respondents. These respondents were students of universities in bachelor and master studies in Slovak Republic. Based on the evaluation and results of our research, we summarize the main findings and preferences of students in terms of starting a business.
