Decline in business births registered in September 2023 Enterprise births - September 2023
In September 2023, the number of business births for all types of enterprises fell back month on month (‑1.2% after +4.1% in August, seasonally and working-day adjusted). This decline was due to a sharp fall in micro-entrepreneurs' registrations (‑3.8% after +5.9%). However, conventional business births continued to rise (+3.7% after +1.0%). The raw number of business births over the last twelve months (October 2022 to September 2023) increased by 1.3% compared to that of the same period one year earlier (October 2021 to September 2022).
The variations in business births recorded since the beginning of 2023 should be interpreted with great caution. Since 1st January 2023, formalities for registering a business must be carried out on the electronic “one-stop shop” for business formalities. This major change temporarily weakens the monthly monitoring of business births, in particular due to a change in the registration delays in the SIRENE business register. Further information about this change is available on the Documentation tab of the on-line version of this publication.

Decline in business births over a month
In September 2023, seasonally and working-day adjusted, business births fell back sharply over a month in trade (including trade and repair of motor vehicles, ‑4.3% after +10.6%), as well as in household services (‑5.2% after +3.0%). They decreased sharply in education, human health and social work activities (‑6.1% after ‑0.6%). However, they rose again in business support activities (+1.2% after +3.0%), accommodation and food service activities (+5.6% after +1.9%) and construction (+2.0% after +3.0%).
Sharp rise in business births in Q3 2023
The raw number of business set up in Q3 2023 rose sharply, in comparison with Q3 2022 (+3.6%). This increase was due to micro-entrepreneurs’ registrations, which grew strongly (+9.1%). Conversely, company births (‑4.1%) and conventional sole proprietorships’ births (‑7.4%) decreased markedly. Micro-entrepreneurs’ registrations accounted for 64.8% of creations over the last three months.
Over this period, transportation and storage activities made the largest positive contribution to the overall increase (+4,600 business births compared to the third quarter of 2022 representing a contribution* of +1.9 points). Within this sector, the rise was due in particular to that in “other postal and courier activities” (+3,000 business births over Q3 2023), which includes in particular home delivery.
* 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.
Increase in business births over the last twelve months
The raw number of business births totted up over the last twelve months (from October 2022 to September 2023) increased (+1.3% year on year). This rise was due to that of micro-entrepreneurs’ registrations (+4.7%). Conversely, company births decreased sharply (‑3.0%) and conventional sole proprietorships’ births even more (‑6.0%).

Revisions
The monthly variation in the total number of business births in August 2023 has been revised downwards by 0.1 points, to +4.1%.
For further information
The business births data are build from the Business Demography Information System (SIDE) which replaces the Register of Enterprises and Establishments (REE). This information system is itself supplied with data from SIRENE and enriched with elements from the SIRUS statistical register.
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 market producer legal unit with no predecessor is considered to be a newly created enterprise by Eurostat. This concept of creation relies on new production resources.
Starting from the data relating to January 2009, the business start-up statistics include applications for start-ups as micro-entrepreneurs. 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.
From the January 2022 publication, business births are calculated according to a revised scheme. This has led to an increase in the level of historic series of business births.
Time series can be accessed at the bottom of the web version this publication, and further information on methodology is available on the Documentation tab.
