On the basis of the overview of the literature of the subject, the signifi cance of the problem of cooperation among SMEs in the context of the factors infl uencing their development is presented.

Moreover, the assessment of the similarity of the structures of the SME sector enterprises with Polish and foreign capital is made, which in turn made it possible to defi ne their similarities and differences by taking into consideration their capital (Polish or foreign).
