This study examines the impact of the business environment on the performance of entrepreneurial entities in Uzbekistan and explores mechanisms for its improvement. The research is based on data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey Uzbekistan 2024 and the Business Indicator system used to assess the level of entrepreneurial development across regions. Comparative analysis was conducted to identify major obstacles affecting business activities in Uzbekistan and neighboring countries. The findings indicate that tax rates, limited access to finance, insufficiently skilled labor, and electricity supply remain significant constraints to business development. Regional analysis reveals substantial disparities in entrepreneurial development, reflecting differences in institutional quality and business conditions.
