2014- n° 35Increase in business start-ups in January 2014 Enterprise births - January 2014
In January 2014, the number of business start-ups seasonally and working-day adjusted data (sa-wda) rose compared to December: +4.1% for business setting up including self-managed enterprises, +2.4% business start-ups excluding self-managed enterprises.
Warning : From September 2013 data onwards, the seasonal and working-day adjustment model has been modified, for monthly business start-up data. Previously, only the time series for business set-ups excluding self-managed enterprises were seasonally adjusted. The self-managed enterprises time series were too short to be properly deseasonalized. From now on, the self-managed enterprises time series are seasonally adjusted for each main sector. However, for the self-managed enterprises time series in the sectors of “Financial and insurance activities”, “Real estate” and “Trade, transport, accommodation and catering” , the raw data are similar to seasonally adjusted data, due to a low number of registrations and difficulty identifying a seasonal trend.
In January 2014, the number of business start-ups seasonally and working-day adjusted data (sa-wda) rose compared to December: +4.1% for business setting up including self-managed enterprises, +2.4% business start-ups excluding self-managed enterprises.
