Globally, there are some forms of incentives that can help the entrepreneur also keep up with other businesses in other countries. The incentives can come in any of the following ways.

Few barriers to entry
This will encourage the upcoming entrepreneurs to penetrate a specific industry with ease.
Competition may be there but with few barriers that could’ve been set up by the already existing businesses, it becomes possible for the small firms to compete in a fair environment.

Tax Incentives
Businesses that are operating in certain areas or industries could do with some exemptions in the tax on inputs. This will mean that they will not collect output tax on their products but the incentive in itself will mean less administrative work

Better regulations
To control the growth of small firms, the government can regulate the issuing of licenses or require stringent requirements for one to get a license. This will act as an incentive for the new entrants and will create a conducive environment for healthy competition

Linkages
The Government through the Ministry of Finance can set up forums where investors can meet with the upcoming entrepreneurs and discuss business prospects where both parties can benefit from each other. This can be organized in form of seminars and trainings or workshops organized by the ministry concerned.
