Overall, almost 415,000 PFAs operate in Romania.
The biggest number of PFAs were founded in the field of agriculture (15% of the total), IT and communications (14% of the total) and transport and warehousing (11% of the total).
A PFA is a legal form allowing a person to carry out any form of economic activity allowed by law by mainly using its own work force and that currently bears a lighter taxation burden than an individual labor contract.
