The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in the profiles of firms and their owners in urban and non-urban locations and also to asses the impact of those differences on the possibilities of growth for firms from both types of locations. Findings: urban entrepreneurs are better educated, more experienced and more positively motivated. Their firms are more innovative, with more qualified employeesadn better access to entrepreneurial infra-structure. However, they are not growing better than non -urban ones. This is a powerful suggestions, meaning that all possible benefits coming from the urban environment may be balanced out by the accompanying disadvantages. Research limitations/implications: The research sample was limited only to the Pomeranian Region. Some non-urban firms were located in small towns, which makes them somewhat similar to urban firms. The research should be continued using a more polarised sample, in which differences between urban and non-urban firms could be more significant. Originality/value: The research sheds some light on the influence of urban and non-urban location on growth possibilities for SMEs, which remains an underresearched topic, especially in Poland.
