Increase in business setting up in October 2012

Enterprise births – October 2012

Warning: Only business start-ups data excluding self-managed enterprises (SME) are seasonally adjusted. In February 2012, the seasonal adjustment model has been reviewed. In order to get the total of enterprise births, the raw number of SME is added. The SME time series is too short to be properly deseasonalized.

In October 2012, the number of business start-ups increased compared to September: +1% for business setting up excluding self-managed enterprises (seasonally and working-day adjusted data); +10.6% if the number of self-managed enterprises (raw data) is added.

+3.3% year-on-year (quarterly basis)

The amount of entries added up August, September and October 2012 increased compared to the same months one year before (+3.3%).

The sectors that most contributed to that increase were “education; human health and social work activities” and business support service activities.

+1.7% year-on-year (twelve months basis)

During the last twelve months, the number of business start-ups decreased by 1.7% year-on-year.

265,538 self-managed enterprises since the beginning of 2012

For the first ten months of 2012, more than one out of two business setting up were self-managed enterprises (265,538).
