Commentary

The data contained in this publication are produced from a snapshot of the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) taken on 22nd March 2010. Introduced in 1994, the IDBR provides the basis for ONS to conduct surveys of businesses. The main administrative sources for the IDBR are VAT trader and PAYE employer information passed to ONS by HM Revenue and Customs; details of incorporated businesses are also passed to ONS by Companies House. The IDBR comprises over 2million enterprises, representing nearly 99% of all UK economic activity.

From 1994, the publication has presented data for enterprises instead of legal units. In some cases, enterprises are formed of several legal units with close financial links. Thus the number of enterprises is slightly lower than the number of legal units they represent. From 2008 the publication was expanded to include PAYE registered enterprises that are not also registered for VAT, extending the scope of the data. The increase in units is most noticeable in the VAT exempt industries of finance, education, health and public administration. The 2009 publication saw the introduction of the 2007 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) in place of that for 2003.

Details of the 2007 SIC can be found at:
http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/classifications/current-standard-classifications/standard-industrial-classification/index.html

When comparing the UK Business data with the Business Demography data produced by ONS, a higher number of active businesses will be reported by Business Demography. This is because the Business Demography methodology takes into account businesses that were active at any time during the reference year, whereas UK Business is based on a snapshot of the IDBR at a point in time in March. Additionally, Business Demography includes unmatched non-corporate PAYE businesses, which are excluded from UK Business.

Further data from UK Business can be found on the ONS website at:

Confidence Levels

Data are rounded to the nearest five. A count of zero does not necessarily mean that there are no enterprises in the area of that industry sector but that data has been suppressed to avoid disclosure.
