USER OF THE REPORT
Multinational Enterprises:
MNEs play an important role in a two to three fold leap forward in a country's economy. Its importance is felt in local progress and in resolving regional inconsistencies in revenues, production and living standard. However still the Bulgarian economy is dominated by SMEs. A possible explanation could be found in the intention and configuration of these MNEs, slow national development, low assimilation capacity of regions and insufficient government policy. As can be deduced from the above methodology that while initiating a new enterprise might be an easy task but it remains so in illusion because Bulgaria is still lagging behind in next in line tasks such as getting a licenses, paying the debts, giving the taxes and trade across border

Even more important amendments included removing part of the legal procedures for SMEs, for example reducing the number of licenses and permit. New policies of easy five-year money loan with reduced interest rate have made it possible for small firms to more easily go in and out of business.
Individual Investors:
While starting a new venture might be a roller coaster ride for the investors which initially might seem as a gamble but its very much dependent upon the international market. Because Bulgaria is while still progressing to counter its competition from its co-EU members it still has long way to go. Hence buying share of different companies and investing in new projects might not go in favor right now but in long ran it promises to give positive results. [7]
