In Switzerland, 46 987 businesses were created from scratch in 2022. This record number was 3950 higher than the previous peak of 2021. More than four out of five new companies were registered as creating one job. These very small businesses are more vulnerable and do not survive as long as larger ones. Existing businesses are also a driving force in the economy and play a key role in job creation. Of these businesses, 4882 were recorded as high-growth, which was another new record.
