Reviewer 2 Report
The paper addresses an interesting topic and is generally well-structured. However, some improvements are recommended:
- The figures and tables should be reformatted to align properly on the page;
- I consider that this paragraph should be eliminated as it is redundant: ”In Section 4, the findings from the examination of the literature of entrepreneurship at the BoP are articulated. The discussion and future research avenues conclude the review in Section 5.” (lines 284-286);
- The authors should highlight the practical implications and limits of the research.

Reviewer 3 Report
This systematic literature review adds value to the understanding of BoP from an entrepreneurship perspective. The paper is well-structured and applies proper methodology. The goals, method and results are clearly and coherently presented. It also motivates further (empirical) research considering the proposed classification of BoP entrepreneurs.
However, I think the paper (and other researchers interested in the topic) would benefit from a summary table of the sources (n=56) studied in the review (incl. e.g. authors, country, method, findings etc.). Or, at least the tables presenting the characteristics and categories of BoP entrepreneurs should involve sources / citations.
Best regards
