250,209 individual entrepreneurs have closed since the beginning of 2025 in Ukraine, according to Opendatabot. The peak of closures fell on January – then, after a month and a half break in the work of the registers, 59,723 entrepreneurs immediately documented their closure.<\/p>\n
2 years and 4 months is the average term of operation of an individual entrepreneur in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Every eighth entrepreneur who closed in 2025 worked in Kyiv: 32,469 individual entrepreneurs. Dnipropetrovsk region is in second place in terms of closures – 22,645 entrepreneurs ceased their activities last year. Small businesses were closed with a small margin in Kharkiv (20,481), Odesa (18,714) and Lviv (16,521) regions.<\/p>\n
The most vulnerable last year were individual entrepreneurs working in retail trade – they account for a third of closures (77,705). On average, such businesses have existed for less than 3 years. Another 16,909 individual entrepreneurs in the wholesale trade sector ceased their work in 2025 – such entrepreneurs barely make it through a year in their work. In general, almost half of the closures are in the trade niche alone.<\/p>\n
By a wide margin, IT professionals came second in terms of the number of closures – 28,668 or every ninth entrepreneur who closed last year. At the same time, IT professionals are also among the long-lived entrepreneurs – 3 years and 11 months.<\/p>\n
The longest-lived in Ukraine are individual entrepreneurs engaged in warehousing – such entrepreneurs have worked for more than 6 years.<\/p>\n
Entrepreneurs in the real estate sector have worked for 5 years and 11 months. The three businesses in the field of repair of appliances, in particular, household appliances, close: 5 years and 9 months.<\/p>\n
But the least resilient are the sole proprietors-couriers – only 6 months, on average, worked by entrepreneurs who closed in this field last year. Sole proprietors in the field of administrative and auxiliary office activities stay afloat for 9 months. Entrepreneurs in the aforementioned wholesale trade and educators work for barely more than a year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
