Over the past 4 years, the number of these db center whatsapp number searches has grown by 21%. This means that if you want to start a new business, you are potentially competing with around 100,000 other people who have the same aspiration.

It seems, however, that the propensity to start a new business is subject to strong "seasonality": most searches occur between January and March.

The only exception was in July 2020, when interest in opening a business skyrocketed compared to the traditional season - and this can be linked to what is now called the pandemic effect.

But what about research that specifically targets small businesses?

The growth pattern of user interest is consistent with what we saw previously, but the pace of growth is much faster.

From 2018 to 2022, the number of searches for everything related to starting a small business increased by 76% . And as we mentioned in our analysis of pandemic trends, COVID has only accelerated this trend.

As you can see, the number of small businesses and the interest in starting them has actually increased over the years. So Google searches often foreshadow the actual leap into entrepreneurship.

While general interest in starting a small business is increasing, it is not evenly distributed, with some businesses receiving more support than others.
