Entrepreneurs are involved into activities contributing to the development of economy of any country. They face many challenges that associated with the internal and external conditions. So the present study seeks to identify the determinants contributing to the success of entrepreneurship in Sudan. A questionnaire was collected from 62 entrepreneurs; the results show that the main determinants of entrepreneurship success in Sudan are access to finance, management abilities, government policies, and network support in addition to entrepreneurs’ personality traits and attitudes. The results also show that there are different motives for starting a business but success stories of other entrepreneurs are of importance. The study recommends that these determinants of success should be considered while developing policies and strategies for promoting entrepreneurship in Sudan.
