Economic crisis, which took place in the years 2008–2009, was one of the biggest crises, which affected the world’s economy. It began in the United States, and then it moved through most countries in the world, especially the highly developed, and the effects of this crisis have been very painful for the entire global economy. It should be stressed that the framework of the economic crisis include the period 2008–2010, although its roots go back to an earlier period than 2008, and its consequences – according to the authors – will be felt for many years. In the wide range, the financial crisis referred to the economic collapse, caused by making the wrong decisions by the monetary authorities of individual countries, unskilful actions of speculators and recession on the course of business cycle. Undoubtedly it was globalisation which contributed to such state, which has led to a great openness of economies, which in turn resulted in the transfer between all economic phenomena, both the positive and the negative. Moreover, globalisation caused the fact that crisis phenomena are growing strong, more and more noticeable and faster and faster move between individual countries. Trade and financial relations, and (perhaps most importantly) the panic in the markets, are responsible for this process.

In 2013, the Polish enterprise sector generated 73,5% of GDP, of which small and medium-sized enterprises generated 50,1% of GDP – i.e. every second zloty of this value. Among all groups of enterprises according to their sizes, the largest share in generating GDP had microenterprises – approx. 30,8%. The aim of the study was to analyze the degree of changes and tendencies in the development of newly created enterprises – according to the length of years of operation and size classes – micro, small, medium-sized and large enterprises in Poland. The analysis of enterprises was based on CSO data included in the study entitled “Non-financial enterprises established in the years 2012-2016”. The analysis covered enterprises that were established in the years 2012-2016 and actively performed their business activity until the last examined year. The following conclusions were drawn: In the structure of enterprises in the years 2012-2016, microenterprises were dominant. Together with the increase in the number of years of running business, the number and share of small, medium and large enterprises increased at the expense of microenterprises. The survival rate of enterprises established in the years 2012-2016 is the highest for large, medium-sized and small enterprises. In the analyzed period, the highest number of employees was in microenterprises, but the number of employees was constantly fluctuating over the years. The number of people working in small and medium-sized enterprises has constantly increased along with the length of business activity. The highest remunerations were observed in enterprises (successively) – large, medium-sized, small and micro- enterprises.
