When asked about the main reasons why entrepreneurs still desist from using the capital market, respondents indicated that this is due to an excessive administrative burden and a lack of knowledge. According to data from 2025, 20% of entrepreneurs cite the administrative burden as the primary obstacle, while 9% believe that the capital market is too expensive. Compared with 2023, the proportion of entrepreneurs who admit a lack of knowledge (from 23% to 20%) or choose the answer "hard to say" (from 20% to 17%) has slightly fallen, indicating a gradual increase in awareness. However, the capital market is still viewed as a complicated and less accessible source of financing.

Crucially, in addition to the main obstacles, some companies are reluctant to adopt a public and transparent profile – 6% of respondents admit they are not ready to talk about their company publicly. Among the reasons mentioned less often but nevertheless significant are concerns about disclosing financial information, reputational risks, loss of ownership control, and perception of the capital market as a bureaucratic solution. Together these aspects form psychological and perceptual barriers that significantly impede use of the capital market in practice.
