–4.3% year-on-year (quarterly basis)
The raw amount of births added up in the last three months came down by 4.3% compared to the same months one year before, for all entreprises, because of the drop of self-managed micro-entrepreneurs' registrations (–23,5 %). Trade and construction were the sectors that most contributed to this dip1.
–3.0% year-on-year (twelve months basis)
The raw number of business start-ups totted up during the last twelve months decreased by 3.0% year-on-year. This was due to the fall in self-managed micro-entrepreneurs' set-ups (–14.5%), while other enterprises' start-ups kept rising, including companies (+3.4%).
A little less than half of the new entrepreneurs is a self-managed micro-entrepreneur
In September 2015, 45.2% of business set-ups over the last twelve months were micro–entrepreneurs' registrations.
