2024: a year of strong business births ending with a slight decline in December Enterprise births - December 2024
In December 2024, the total number of business births across all types of businesses, adjusted for seasonal variations and working days, fell back slightly (-1.6%), following two months of growth. Conventional sole proprietorships retreated sharply (-6.4% after +10.1% in November), while micro-entrepreneur registrations slowed (+1.1% after +4.1%). In raw data, the total number of businesses created over the past twelve months (January 2024 to December 2024) increased by 5.7% compared to the same period a year earlier (January 2023 to December 2023).
The variations in business births compared to 2023 should be interpreted with great caution. Since 1st January 2023, business registration formalities must be completed via the electronic “one-stop shop” for business formalities. This major change weakened the monthly tracking of business births in 2023. However, its effect on the measurement of the number of business births in 2023 is overall limited.

Revisions
For November 2024, the monthly change in total business births (all types combined) has been revised upwards by 0.5 points, due to adjustments in raw data and updates to seasonal variation correction coefficients (CVS) and working day effects (WDA). The figure now stands at +6.2% compared to +5.7% in the previous publication.
For further information
* 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.
The business births data are built from the Business Demography Information System (SIDE), which replaces the Register of Enterprises and Establishments (REE). This information system is 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.
