According to UK business loan firm money.co.uk, Denmark has a feeble track record when it comes to producing lasting micro enterprises – businesses with less than ten employees.
Money.co.uk looked into the performance of 28 European countries from 2013-18 and found that Denmark rated last for five-year business survival rates.
Of the 8,213 micro enterprises established in 2013, only 3,458 (or 42 percent) had survived by 2018.
