Definition
Enterprises registered for VAT and/or PAYE on the Inter-Departmental Business Register, as at March of the year. An enterprise is the smallest combination of legal units with autonomy over its decisions, counted once in the area of its registered office or main site. ONS UK Business Counts (Nomis dataset NM_142_1), all employment sizes and legal statuses. All industries.
Counts are rounded to the nearest 5 by ONS, so small areas and industries carry rounding error and components do not add up exactly. Businesses below the VAT threshold with no employees are not included, so this is not the total business population (the business population estimates are larger), and it is not comparable with Eurostat enterprise counts for EU countries. The year is the March snapshot: 2026 means March 2026.
