Welcome to company formation statistics, the section which displays the number of business incorporations which have been carried out in any given month.
With the rapid increase in business start-ups in recent years, there has been a very high demand for company registration services. By analysing the trend, we are providing a snapshot of the number if set-ups and thus enabling users to draw their own conclusions on the data.
The statistics are provided by Companies House who of course carries out all UK business formations and who maintain systems which permit the exaction of the relevant data at the end of each month.
This section is provided to aid anyone seeking an analysis of UK company formation activities over a period of time.
