Within it, the strongest increase was in business and other postal and mail activities (+14,700 business births over the last three months). This upsurge is mainly due to the development in home delivery.

For further information

The business births data are build from the Register of Enterprises and Establishments (REE), from Sirene register information. 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 legal operating unit with no predecessor is considered to be a newly created enterprise by Eurostat. This concept of creation relies on new production resources. The business start-up statistics include applications for start-ups as micro-entrepreneurs, starting from the data relating to January 2009. 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.

Otherwise, as it was indicated in September, Insee has identified an error related to the sharing of births between conventional sole proprietorships and self-managed micro-entrepreneurs (without affecting the total number of births and the breakdown between companies and sole proprietorships). Actions have been taken to ensure proper monitoring of micro-entrepreneurs’ registrations from early 2021, with correction of time series since January 2015. Until then, the sharing of business births between micro-entrepreneurs and conventional sole proprietorships will no longer be disseminated. Learn more [link to press release].

Additional informations (time series) are available at the bottom of this page.
