Abstract
This study investigates the impact of various entrepreneurial factors—specifically Business Education, Entrepreneurial Support Centers, Digital Learning Tools, Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy, and Access to Funding—on Business Startup Intentions. Using regression analysis, the model reveals a statistically significant effect of these variables on startup intentions (R² = 0.544, F = 54.145, p < 0.001). The findings indicate that these five predictors collectively explain approximately 54.4% of the variance in business startup intentions. The study contributes to understanding how educational and institutional support can effectively foster entrepreneurship among individuals (Fayolle & Liñán, 2014; Nabi et al., 2017). This study investigates the impact of business education, entrepreneurial support centers, Digital learning tools, Entrepreneurial self-Efficacy, Access to funding on university students' startup intentions. Focusing on students from Haripur universities, data were collected through a un-structured questionnaire. Descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses were used to assess relationships among business education, support centers, Digital learning tools, Entrepreneurial self-Efficacy, Access to funding and entrepreneurial intentions.
