Romanian entrepreneurs have higher self-satisfaction but feel stress over taxes, study shows

Romanian entrepreneurs have a higher sense of self-satisfaction in 2025 compared to last year, but feel stress over taxes and do not trust the state, according to the Mind Your Business study, an initiative of the publication Start-up.ro, which measures entrepreneurs’ mental well-being.

Almost 8 out of 10 Romanian entrepreneurs have positive feelings about their self-image, compared to 7 out of 10 in 2024. This includes emotions such as confidence, satisfaction, motivation, enthusiasm, and joy. Roughly 72% of entrepreneurs have the same positive feelings towards their business, and 78% feel the same towards their team.
