2.4 million companies closed in 2024. What they shared

Data from the Ministry of Development indicates that Brazil recorded over 2.4 million company closures between 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. Micro and small businesses accounted for 97% of that total.

The pattern behind the closures

According to Sebrae, only 35% of Brazilian SMEs carry out monthly financial closing with margin analysis. In other words, 65% of small businesses operate without knowing whether they are making a profit or a loss.

The pattern is always the same: lack of clear processes, disorganized finances, a team without standardized training and decisions based on gut feeling. When a crisis arrives, there is no margin left to react.
