• Abstract: Currently, given the economic, political and social situation that prevails in Mexico, the creation of companies is increasingly promoted. To this end, the government has established in its development plans programs in which entrepreneurship is promoted, with programs that are specifically aimed at young people. Likewise, universities have incorporated content related to entrepreneurship into their study programs. However, the majority of students who graduate from programs where knowledge about entrepreneurship is taught do not develop the business projects they developed during their studies or do not create companies. Therefore, the research presented aims to determine the limitations for the formalization of young entrepreneurs who graduate from universities. The research is descriptive, non-experimental and transversal. Using a questionnaire with a Likert scale as a measurement instrument, which was applied to university graduates. Among the most relevant limitations or barriers that prevent young people who want to start and formalize their business, financial resources in the first place and lack of time in the second place are the factors that limit this formalization.
