How to read this

Not every new business

Sole traders and ordinary partnerships do not have to register. Limited liability partnerships are counted separately.

Registered, not necessarily trading

A company can be on the register before it sells anything or takes on staff.

Not seasonally adjusted

Some months are always busier than others, so compare with the same month last year.
