The number of business closures increased by 9.8 per cent over the same period in 2020. However, business start-ups exceeded closures by 1,695 registrations. For every 1,000 inhabitants, a total of two new businesses were founded in Hamburg. The rate was highest in Hamburg-Mitte at 3.3 and lowest in Bergedorf (0.7). Women submitted around 35 per cent of business registrations under sole proprietorships making for the highest share of female entrepreneurs since 2011.
