Globalization has led to an increased correlation and integration of various fields in modern civilization, including those connected with allocation of entrepreneurial functions. Connection, on a global scale, has shown an increased significance of worldwide corporations. Territorial allocation of the entrepreneurial function has become the subject of translocation and revaluation. Translocation can be understood as the change of spatial orientation. It is manifested through an increasingly fading role of industry concentration, mainly the one of processing and production. On a metropolitan scale, the scattering of these activities has gained a new meaning as well. This paper presents some results of the research done by the relations between urban sprawl and entrepreneurial activity in these areas. Previous research carried out by the authors shows, that the Polish dimension of suburbanization has a unique quality associated with small and medium enterprises’ activity (SMEs). It is manifested by a significant number of companies located in the suburban zones.
