After a slow start to the year, the number of sole proprietorships in Poland is on the rise, reflecting renewed confidence among entrepreneurs. By September, 241,300 new sole proprietorships had been registered, leading to a net increase of nearly 100,000 businesses, representing a 2.7% growth from the end of 2023. This trend is attributed to favorable macroeconomic conditions and the increasing popularity of flexible employment forms. E-commerce remains a leading sector, with registrations expected to exceed 70,000 by year-end. However, the total number of suspended sole proprietorships has surged, with 195,000 suspensions in 2023. Despite this, 83% of adult Poles believe starting a business is easy, indicating a positive outlook for entrepreneurship in Poland.
