Mikroettevõtjad

Mikroettevõtjad refers to micro-entrepreneurs in Estonia. This term generally describes individuals who operate very small businesses, often as sole proprietors or through simplified business structures. These businesses typically have a limited number of employees, often just the owner themselves, and generate a modest turnover.

The concept of mikroettevõtjad is closely linked to simplified tax and administrative regulations designed to encourage entrepreneurship at a small scale. These regulations aim to reduce the barriers to entry for individuals wishing to start their own ventures, making it easier to manage finances and comply with legal requirements. This often involves a simplified tax system where a percentage of turnover is paid as tax, rather than complex income or profit calculations.

Mikroettevõtjad can be found in a wide range of sectors, including crafts, consulting, small-scale services, and online businesses. They play a role in diversifying the Estonian economy by offering specialized products and services and creating opportunities for self-employment. The success of many mikroettevõtjad can contribute to local economies and foster innovation within niche markets. The framework for mikroettevõtjad is a part of Estonia's broader strategy to support and grow its business ecosystem.
