  ABSTRACT: COVID-19, far from being a health crisis, has turned into an economic and social crisis, leading to the closure of businesses around the world. Togolese businesses, both formal and informal, have suffered in one way or another. The objective of this study is to highlight the impact of this pandemic on private enterprises and informal economy unities in Togo. The database of the General Office of Work in Togo (DGT, 2020) was subjected to a descriptive statistical analysis. After documentary research, we have used the SPSS software to analyse the variables taking into account. Word and Excel software were also used to format the tables and generate some figures. The results revealed that, about 96.80% of the unities were impacted by the crisis and 1105 jobs were lost in some unities. The results showed also that the occurrence of collective and individual conflicts in some unities is about 3.91% due to the health crisis.
