In December 2015, the number of business births advanced again (+1.3%) following a drop in November (−0.7%, for all entreprises, seasonally and working-day adjusted). This slight growth was a result of the upsurge in self-managed micro-entrepreneurs' registrations (+3.3%).

–3.9% year-on-year (quarterly basis)

The raw amount of births added up in the last quarter of 2015 dropped by 3.9% compared to the same quarter one year before, because of the downturn in micro-entrepreneurs' registrations (–22.5%). Construction and trade were the sectors that most contributed to the overall fall1. On the opposite, distinctly more start-ups were created in the sector or transportation compared to the same months last year.

–4.7% year-on-year (twelve months basis)

The raw number of business start-ups totted up during the last twelve months slipped by 4.7% year-on-year. This was due to the sharp drop of self-managed micro-entrepreneurs' set-ups (–21.2%). On the other hand, sole proprietorships creations excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs shoot up (+27.6%) and companies' start-ups also increased (+3.8%).

Two business set-ups out of five are self-managed micro-entrepreneur's registrations

In December 2015, micro–entrepreneurs' registrations amounted to 42.6% of business set-ups over the twelve last months. One year before, the share was 51,4%.
