Abstract
There is no unambiguous definition of internationalization although a lot of theories that has made great contribution to enterprise internationalization have been propounded. Internationalization is commonly understood as an extending the company's activity to foreign markets in order to ensure a better competitive position. The company's operation on the local market differs from its operation on foreign markets. Examples of many companies indicate that internationalization processes, even if they enable them to gain new markets, involve the need to overcome various types of barriers. The aim of this paper was to identify barriers of internationalization among SMEs in Podlaskie Voivodeship. External and internal barriers of internationalization have been analysed. Researches indicated, as the most dangerous barrier lack/insufficient financial resources and strong competition on the foreign market; the least dangerous – cultural differences
