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 November 2012, the number of business start-ups decreased compared to October: -0.3% for business setting up excluding self-managed enterprises (seasonally and working-day adjusted data); -12.1% if the number of self-managed enterprises (raw data) is added.
The amount of entries added up September, October and November 2012 decreased compared to the same months one year before (-0.8%).
The sectors that most contributed to that decrease were “real estate activities” and business support service activities.
During the last twelve months, the number of business start-ups decreased by 1.2% year-on-year.
For the first eleven months of 2012, more than one out of two business setting up were self-managed enterprises (290,116).
