Business applications
Applications for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) that indicate a new business, per month, seasonally adjusted. United States: Census Bureau Business Formation Statistics, from July 2004.
Applications are not business formations: many applicants never hire anyone or start operating. Not comparable with companies_created, which counts companies registered in Spain.
