More and more medium -sized companies in Germany are thinking about giving up their business or relocating abroad. This was the result of a current survey by the Federal Association of Medium -sized economy. According to this, 26 percent of the companies surveyed consider this option, while 22 percent even think about relocating abroad.

The entrepreneurs indicate the high bureaucracy as the main reason for these considerations. Almost a third of the respondents feel restricted by excessive regulations. In addition, more than a quarter of companies see high taxes and levies as an obstacle. In addition, the tightening shortage of skilled workers is noticeable, which restricts a quarter of the respondents in their business.

Markus Jerger, the association chairman, emphasizes that the results of the survey are more than just a warning signal. If, close to home and deeply rooted entrepreneurs think about a business task or a move abroad, it shouldn't leave anyone cold.

The desire for reliability and predictability in the framework conditions becomes particularly clear. Almost 40 percent of medium -sized companies surveyed evaluate the infrastructure in Germany positively, 36 percent praise political stability.

The results of the survey clearly show that the current conditions for medium -sized companies in Germany are not satisfactory. The high bureaucracy, taxes and levies as well as the shortage of skilled workers are major obstacles for these companies. Politics and business have to find solutions together in order to maintain the attractiveness of Germany for medium -sized companies and to be able to offer companies a perspective. This is the only way to remain successful in the long term and secure jobs.
