In the 1st 4th of 2025 there were 87,250 companies registered, i.e. by 5.2% little year-on-year and 100 bankruptcies – stated the Central Statistical Office. The number of bankruptcies year to year has not changed, but this does not change the overall negative trend. Entrepreneurship, mostly small, no longer pays off.
Polish small entrepreneurship is falling. On Tuesday, the Central Statistical Office provided data on the registration and bankruptcy of enterprises in the first 4th of 2025. The last 4th of 2024 brought a year to the year a decrease in the number of bankruptcys of companies in Poland. At the time, the CSO recorded 95 bankruptcies (-3 percent rdr), but the number of companies registered besides decreased.
Given the kind of activity, a decrease in the number of company registrations has been recorded in most sections, including the largest in respective sectors:
- repair of motor vehicles,
- information and communication,
- Industry.
"A smaller number of bankruptcies were observed in construction (9 against 18), services (16 against 20), accommodation and catering (1 against 4), information and communication (3 against 5) and another sections (3 against 5)" – added GUS.
In turn, the increase in bankruptcy according to CSO data occurred in the following sections: manufacture (34 to 23), transport and warehouse economy (12 to 6) and trade; repair of motor vehicles (22 to 19).
The revealed data shows a worrying trend in the slow fall of tiny enterprise, which simply ceases to pay off. The reason for this is the ever-increasing cost of operating (ZUS, taxes, bureaucracy) and the increasingly unstable legal environment of the business, caused by the alleged "legislative diarrhea" of the authorities.
