The aim of the paper is to evaluate the economic conditions of the micro-enterprises from the Lodz region based on statistical data from the years 2008–2010. In-depth knowledge of this sector, its specificity, the general economic situation and the barriers to development may facilitate better understanding of the needs and business conditions of micro-firms. The analysis refers to the Lodz region, not the Lodz Metropolitan Area, because detailed statistics about counties are not available.
