Using the social anchoring approach, this article investigates the entrepreneur experience of one of the newest migrant groups in Britain, the Nepali Gurkhas. The findings derived from the semi-structured interviews show how these migrant entrepreneurs employ multiple ‘anchors’ to engage in family-based enterprises and to navigate structural constraints. Their military heritage, which has provided them with psycho-social resources in the form of subjective and mixed anchors, has been central to their exercise of agency and enabling them to gain a foothold in Britain. This has rendered Gurkha entrepreneurs a distinct group within migrant entrepreneurship. The article contributes to the literature on migrant entrepreneurship by delineating how agential capacity, by deploying different anchors, can cause variations in migrant enterprises, which in turn imbue migrant entrepreneurship with distinct characteristics.

作为英国企业家的廓尔喀勇士：军事遗产和移民企业的社会锚定镜头

本文使用社会锚定方法，调查了英国最新移民群体之一尼泊尔廓尔喀人的企业家经历。半结构化访谈的结果表明，这些农民工企业家如何雇用多个“锚”来从事家族企业并克服结构性限制。他们的军事传统以主观和混合锚的形式为他们提供了心理社会资源，这对于他们行使代理权并使其能够在英国站稳脚跟至关重要。这使得廓尔喀企业家成为移民企业家中的一个独特群体。这篇文章通过描述代理能力如何通过部署不同的锚点可以导致移民企业的变化，为移民创业的文献做出贡献，
