Abstract: This study explains factors that influence enterprise creation among graduates within a public university in Malaysia. The analysis of the data reflects the vision and mission of that university to promote entrepreneurial skills among its student. This study recognises four factors that influence students starting a business after graduation. These factors are; 1) individual’s intention and characteristics, 2) family background, 3) culture and 4) financial resources. Individual’s intention and characteristics expedite enterprise creation, while family background presents students’ ability to participate in businesses. Culture draws upon cumulative knowledge, experience, belief and values that can cultivate a person’s thought and mindset, meanwhile, financial resources draw upon financial assistance made available to students for starting-up enterprises. These factors were tested using regression coefficient, reliability and descriptive methods. This is to ensure data received are legit and valid to use for this study.
