In July 2021, the number of business births decreased in industry (–10.1%) and in construction (–10.1%). On the other hand, the number of business births increased again in education, human health and social work activities (+10.6%).

The raw number of business births totted up during the last three months (May to July) increased sharply in comparison with the same months one year ago (+16.9%). Micro-entrepreneurs’ registrations went up sharply (+11.1%), as well as companies’s births (+36.2%) and conventionnal sole proprietorships’ births (+5.4%).

Business support activities was the sector that contributed the most to the overall rise (+9,000 business births, which comes to a contribution of +4.4 points)*. Within it, the strongest increase was in public relations and communication activities (+1,300 business births over the last three months in comparison with the same months one year ago).

Increase in business births over the twelve last months

The raw number of business births totted up during the last twelve months went up (+27.7%), notably due to the particulary low number of business births during the first lockdown in 2020. Micro-entrepreneurs' registrations increased more strongly (+30.5%) as well as companies’ births (+29.9%) and, in a lesser extent, sole proprietorships’ births (+5.5%).

* The contribution of a sector to the overall variation is the variation observed in this sector, weighted by the share of this sector in the total number of births.

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.
