independent business initiative

It sounds better to me in English if the emphasis is placed on the business rather than on the "businesspeople".

For example, there are a number of "small business" plans of various sorts (loans, telephone calling plans, etc.), where in German I'd expect to see "Kleinunternehmer..." or "... für (den) Kleinunternehmer".

Just my 2¢.

Thanks. Maybe "entrepreneur" is more popular in British English. In the U.S. we'd much sooner say "business...".
