Abstract

Teamwork is common in entrepreneurship, yet its impact on households remains underexplored. This study investigates the differences in household entrepreneurship outcomes between cooperative and solo ventures. The findings reveal that cooperative entrepreneurship significantly outperforms solo entrepreneurship in financial terms. Cooperative households, by substituting entrepreneurial resources, boost performance through resource sharing. Furthermore, cooperation enhances productivity in small‐scale ventures and in regions with strong legal frameworks, driving greater entrepreneurial success. Importantly, the primary motivation for household cooperation often lies in overcoming resource constraints. This paper offers innovative insights and practical strategies to address the resource limitations faced by household enterprises.
