The number of entities recorded in Poland’s national business register (REGON) rose in September, according to data released by Statistics Poland. Both new registrations and deregistrations increased compared with the previous month, reflecting continued movement across the country’s business sector.
At the end of September 2025, the REGON register listed 5.41 million active entities. The number of new registrations grew by 12.9% from August, with civil law partnerships up 17.1%, commercial companies up 13.1%, and sole proprietorships rising 11.3%.
During the same period, around 18,500 entities were removed from the register, a 17.5% month-on-month increase. The largest rise was among commercial companies, where deregistrations climbed by 50.6%, followed by an 11.2% increase among civil law partnerships.
Statistics Poland also reported a small rise in the number of businesses temporarily suspending operations. At the end of September, these accounted for 14.9% of all entities in the register, with self-employed individuals representing the overwhelming majority.
The data indicate steady turnover in the Polish business landscape, with new ventures emerging even as others close or pause operations. Analysts at Statistics Poland noted that such movement is typical in a period of structural adjustment, where both entrepreneurial activity and business consolidation remain active across key sectors.
