+11.6% year-on-year (quarterly basis)

The raw amount of births added up in the last three months went up sharply compared to the same period one year before (+11.6%). Every type of business set-ups increased, whether they are companies (+15.5%), sole proprietorship start-ups excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs (+13.4%) or, to a lesser extent, micro-entrepreneur's registrations (+7.5%). The rise concerns every economic activity, especially business support activities and transportation.1

+2.0% year-on-year (twelve months basis)

The raw number of business start-ups totted up during the last twelve months kept recovering (+2.0% year-on-year, like in May). This rise was due to sole proprietorships creations excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs (+21.3%) and companies' start-ups (+10.4%). On the opposite, self-managed micro-entrepreneurs' set-ups shrinked sharply (−12.0%).

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

In June 2016, micro–entrepreneurs' registrations amounted to 41.1% of business set-ups over the twelve last months. One year before, the share was 47.6%.
