Survey: German start-ups expect growth

37 percent of the start-ups surveyed also plan to expand abroad in the course of the year. One major concern remains, however.

Despite the ongoing Corona pandemic and supply bottlenecks, 68 percent of German startups expect to grow their business in 2022, according to a survey of 500 startups commissioned by freelance platform Fiverr. The home office will also remain an issue in 2022, according to the survey: 45 percent of the startups surveyed want to continue working from home or in hybrid work models.

A large proportion of German start-ups are also planning to expand abroad. Of 78 percent of all start-ups that want to expand beyond Germany, 37 percent even want to implement their plans this year.

However, just under a third of the founders fear that they will not be able to find enough qualified personnel in the current competitive situation. Therefore, more and more start-ups would think about working with freelancers: 46 percent of the respondents want to spend between 40 and 80 percent of their personnel budget on freelancers this year, according to the survey by Fiverr. Fiverr is itself a platform for freelancers.

Fiverr commissioned the market research company Censuswide to implement the survey. 500 German founders from various industries and federal states took part in the survey.
