The main goal of this paper is to review Polish and world scientific literature as well as local business reports on the broadly understood business services sector. On this basis, the author tries to capture the geographical and economic aspects of its development, i.e. factors affecting the location of companies and features of spatial distribution, as well as relations with the environment, including the sector’s impact on the demographic and economic structure of the region and the effects it causes. In the following, he makes a synthetic summary of the sector’s development, listing various problems that it encounters, among others rising employment cost, competition on the labor market, or “outflow of talents”.
