Decrease in business start-ups in April 2013

Enterprise creation – April 2013

Warning: Only business start-ups data excluding self-managed enterprises (SME) are seasonally adjusted. In order to get the total number of enterprise creation, the raw number of SME is added. The SME time series is too short to be properly deseasonalized.

In April 2013, the number of business start-ups decreased compared to March: -2% for business setting up (seasonally and working-day adjusted data) including self-managed enterprises; -1.2% if the number of self-managed enterprises is excluded.

-3.1% year-on-year (quarterly basis)

The amount of entries added up in the last quarter decreased compared to the same quarter one year before (-3.1%).

The sectors that most contributed to that decrease were household services, construction and business support activities.

-2.2% year-on-year (twelve months basis)

During the last twelve months, the number of business start-ups decreased by 2.2% year-on-year.

99,978 self-managed enterprises since the beginning of 2013

For the first four months of 2013, more than one out of two businesses set up were self-managed enterprises (99,978).
