Different comparison windows

Company formations increased 5.4% over January–September from a year earlier. September alone fell 2.6% year-on-year but rose 3.2% from August. The figures describe different windows.

Before starting a business

Formation counts are not a forecast of your business’s profitability. Budget separately for premises, staff, stock and financing, then allow for collection delays. Turnover is not the same as profit.

A statistical boundary

Company closures are not interchangeable with bankruptcies or applications for creditor protection. Companies, cooperatives and sole-proprietor commercial businesses are separate groups. This is general reporting, not personalised business or investment advice.
