Running a business involves many formal and organisational issues and challenges. Entrepreneurs are confronted with public administration at practically every stage of their business activity – from its initiation through its active execution and to its termination. One of the basic guarantee values of doing business is legal stability – both of the legal environment and of future and current administrative- legal relations. The legislator should therefore, guided by the above value, construct provisions ensuring the possibility of such stabilisation of relations. While the legislator has developed a basic mechanism securing entrepreneurs in the form of individual interpretations, the scope of this interpretation is limited to the clarification of the scope and manner of application of regulations from which the entrepreneur's obligation to pay public levies or social or health insurance contributions arises. The article will address the subject of the entrepreneur's right to information, and in this respect the authors will determine whether the legislator, apart from the individual interpretation, has equipped entrepreneurs with another institution that guarantees their right to information. Thus, the principle of providing information to the entrepreneur will be described and attention will be paid to the principle of loyalty, which prescribes the building of trust of entrepreneurs in the state and the prohibition of a different interpretation of the regulations than the one presented to the entrepreneur in the written information.
