Abstract
The principal aim of this article is to present a qualitative typology of the profiles of immigrant entrepreneurs from non-European Union countries living in Spain, as well as the characteristics of their businesses. The intention is to illustrate typologically the characteristics and the potential of businesses run by immigrants. This analysis is based on a study called «El empresariado inmigrante en España» (Immigrant Businesses in Spain) (Solé, Parella y Cavalcanti, 2007), financed by the La Caixa Foundation. It looks at three specific sociospatial contexts where there is a higher concentration of foreign people: Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia.
