The figure of the month

According to the latest data from the Territorial Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies of Saint Martin (ITSEE), 1,361 businesses were created in the territory in 2025, 52% of which were sole proprietorships (micro-entrepreneurs, EURLs, SASUs). This represents a significant increase of 6% compared to the previous year and the highest number of business start-ups recorded since 2016.
However, according to socio-professional institutions, this figure should be viewed with caution, because while sole proprietorships are flourishing, the majority of SMEs and SMIs are struggling.
