Abstract
The UK used to be primarily an emigration country, but in recent years, far more migrants have arrived at the UK borders. These immigrants play a vital role in the country's entrepreneurial landscape, with many starting businesses contributing to the economy's growth and development. Migrant entrepreneurs are essential to the UK's entrepreneurial ecosystem, contributing to economic growth and job creation. However, starting and running a business in a new country can be challenging, particularly for migrants who face cultural, language, and regulatory barriers. Therefore, to thrive as a migrant entrepreneur in the UK, specific skills are necessary. This paper examines the experiences of Nigerian immigrant entrepreneurs in the UK, focusing on identifying challenges, opportunities and critical entrepreneurship skills immigrant entrepreneurs need to succeed in the UK business landscape.
