Opening and closing businesses in Ukraine: why is it difficult for entrepreneurs to adapt now?
The number of closed businesses in Ukraine increased significantly in 2025. The reasons are various – from changes in the activities of owners to increased costs.
For Channel 24's client expert Anastasia Yamelinets adds that business closures occur mainly due to the accumulation of various changes.
The expert also speaks of a significant increase in financial burdens, such as costs for logistics, rent, personnel, energy, etc. In addition, consumer behavior has changed noticeably.
For example, according to the marketing company Kantar, purchases are becoming more rational: people compare alternatives more often, reduce the frequency of purchases, and are more sensitive to price.

Businesses that fail to adapt to these changes or continue to operate in a “business as usual” model and do not support their decisions with up-to-date data quickly lose their sustainability.
And given the situation in the country, one of the main factors for closure is war risks. Businesses may suffer from disruptions in work, customer migration, and supply instability.
No less important is the psychological factor: uncertainty, pent-up demand, and reduced willingness to invest.
Courage is a sign of successful people who do not chase trends, but create them. With the Škoda Kodiaq you will experience it to the fullest!
