Polish entrepreneurs are increasingly concerned about the future of their businesses, according to CRIF’s Banking on Banks 2026 report. As many as 86% fear for their company’s future, while 36% believe it may not survive the next decade. Their main concerns include rising operating and insurance costs, declining profits, cash-flow problems, cybercrime, and fraud.
Global uncertainty is also affecting business decisions. Sixty-two percent say the global slowdown directly affects their operations, while 76% find long-term planning more difficult. Many companies are responding by delaying investments, prioritizing cost efficiency, outsourcing services, and limiting recruitment.
Artificial intelligence is becoming an important tool: 75% of entrepreneurs already use or plan to use AI, mainly for administration, automation, personalization, competitiveness, and risk management. However, 82% believe AI-generated decisions require ongoing human oversight.
