The number of start-ups in the liberal professions grew most strongly in Baden-Württemberg and Saarland in 2023. Looking only at the number of start-ups by female freelancers their share of all freelance start-ups was highest in the north.
The number of startups in the liberal professions increased by 1.7% in 2023 compared to the previous year, reaching around 94,670. This means that once again, more freelancers took the path to self-employment than in the previous year. At the same time, the number of freelance startups exceeded the pre-pandemic level for the first time (2019: 93,590). This is also reflected in the startup intensity, the number of startups per 10,000 economically active inhabitants: It is now at 18.4, surpassing both 2022 (18.1) and 2019 (18.2).
The number of startups in the liberal professions increased most in Saarland and Baden-Württemberg. In Saxony, Bremen, Hesse, Hamburg, and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, fewer freelancers started businesses compared to 2022
In the north the proportion of women is higher
The proportion of women in all self-employed startups remained constant (54.8%) in the federal average. But their startup share was significantly above the average in Schleswig-Holstein (59.0%) and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (58.8%). Relative to 10,000 employees, the number of female-led startups was highest in Berlin (57) and Hamburg (38), followed by Saxony and Bavaria (22).
