The predisposition of the population to start a business in the next three years has risen to 13.8%, after advancing 2.6 percentage points and thus consolidating the recovery after the "stagnation" recorded the previous year, as communicated this Tuesday by Enisa.
This data is collected in the report of the Observatory of Entrepreneurship of Spain, prepared with the collaboration of Enisa, which confirms a rebound in entrepreneurship in all phases of the entrepreneurial cycle.
In this framework, the Entrepreneurial Activity Rate (TEA), which counts those who launch businesses less than three and a half years old, stands at 7.8%, which implies an increase of 0.6 points. In parallel, consolidated entrepreneurship progresses to 7.4%, that is, 1.4 points more.
However, the document warns that, although projects are increasing, abandonment due to closure or transfer also grows slightly, reaching 3.7%, reflecting a "more active and competitive" environment.
The CEO of Enisa, Carolina Rodríguez, has pointed out that "the culture of entrepreneurship continues to climb positions in society and interest in the population is growing, thanks, in part, to the boost of public policies aimed at developing entrepreneurial talent and numerous initiatives."
A more diverse entrepreneurship ecosystem
The report also highlights an increasingly "balanced" scenario, with women and men starting businesses in very close proportions (7% and 8%, respectively), which confirms the consolidation of the trend towards greater equality.
Academic training also plays a "relevant role": people with university studies double the intention to start a business (60%) compared to those who lack this educational level.
The analysis also highlights the impetus of the migrant population, whose entrepreneurial activity rate stands at 13.8%, almost double the national average, while their intention to start a business reaches 27%.
On the other hand, 29% of early-stage entrepreneurs have fully incorporated technology into their projects, four points more than in the previous year.
Finally, the study highlights the strong concentration in the services sector, which accounts for 85% of new businesses created in 2025, consolidating itself as the "main area of opportunity".
