In August 2024, business births remain significant, despite three months of slowdown Enterprise births - August 2024
In August 2024, the total number of business births, across all types of businesses, continued to decline, but at a slower rate compared to the previous month (-0.5% after -1.6%), based on seasonally and working-day adjusted data. Conventional business births saw another decrease (-1.8% after -3.4% in July), while micro-entrepreneurs’ registrations remained virtually stable (+0.1% after -0.6%). In raw data, the total number of business births over the past twelve months (September 2023 to August 2024) increased by 6.8% compared to the same period a year earlier (September 2022 to August 2023).
The variations in business births compared to 2023 should be interpreted with great caution. Since 1st January 2023, business registration formalities must be completed via the electronic “one-stop shop” for business formalities. This major change weakened the monthly tracking of business births in 2023. However, its effect on the measurement of the number of business births in 2023 is overall limited.

Slight decrease in business births over one month
In August 2024, seasonally and working-day adjusted, business births decreased again in sectors such as “other services activities” (-8.3% after -4.0% in July), information and communication (‑2.8% after ‑7.2%) and construction (-5.9% after -1.0%). They fell back in manufacturing (-4.9% after +0.8%). Conversely, business births continued to rise sharply in transportation and storage (+12.3% after +4.4%) and rebounded in financial and insurance activities (+4.2% after -1.4%).
Significant year-on-year increase over the last three months
In raw data, the total number of business births from June 2024 to August 2024 rose sharply compared to the same period in 2023 (+6.3%). This substantial growth was driven by the strong increase in the company set-ups (+11.3%) and, to a lesser extent, by the rise in individual businesses under the micro-entrepreneur status (+6.9%). On the other hand, conventional sole proprietorships births saw a significant drop (-8.1%).
During this period, the transportation and storage sector contributed the most to the overall increase (+4,500 business births compared to the same months a year earlier, representing a contribution* of +1.9 percentage points). Within this sector, the rise was mainly driven by registrations in “other postal and courier activities” (+2,500 business births over the last three months), which include in particular home delivery services.
Marked increase in business births over the last twelve months
In raw data, the total number of business births over the past twelve months (September 2023 to August 2024) increased significantly (+6.8% year on year). Micro-entrepreneurs’ business births grew strongly (+8.7%), while company set-ups (+4.4%) and conventional sole proprietorships’ births (+1.6%) rose more moderately.

Revisions
For the month of July 2024, the monthly variation in the total business births (all types of business combined) is not revised.
For further information
* The contribution of a sector to the overall variation is the variation observed in this sector, weighted by the share of this sector in the total number of births.
The business births data are built from the Business Demography Information System (SIDE), which replaces the Register of Enterprises and Establishments (REE). This information system is supplied with data from SIRENE and enriched with elements from the SIRUS statistical register.
The definition of creation adopted by INSEE is based on the concept defined by Eurostat, to harmonize and compare European data. The appearance of a market producer legal unit with no predecessor is considered to be a newly created enterprise by Eurostat. This concept of creation relies on new production resources.
Starting from the data relating to January 2009, the business start-up statistics include applications for start-ups as micro-entrepreneurs. Since this date, sole proprietorships excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs are called conventional sole proprietorships and start-ups excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs are called conventional businesses.
From the January 2022 publication, business births are calculated according to a revised scheme. This has led to an increase in the level of historic series of business births.
Time series can be accessed at the bottom of the web version this publication, and further information on methodology is available on the Documentation tab.
