What happens to them
Of the 2,259 companies formed in Stoke-on-Trent Central between January 2022 and September 2023 at their own address, 40% were still on the register three years later and 25% had filed trading accounts — 619th of 649 constituencies (UK: 51% and 35%; West Midlands: 46% and 31%). Most of the rest never traded: they missed their first confirmation statement and were struck off at about seventeen months. The rank is a description, not a verdict — survival tracks the local sector mix and deprivation more than anything a constituency does, and a few points either way is within the noise for a seat of this size.

How this is counted
Every company incorporated in the UK is taken from the Companies House public register the day after it appears, and placed in a constituency by its registered-office postcode using the ONS Postcode Directory (July 2024 boundaries). "Formed at their own address" excludes registrations at addresses that take 100 or more a year — formation agents and virtual offices — because those say where the agent is, not where the business is. "Expected to trade" is the historical trading rate of similar companies from the outcome cohort, summed; it is an estimate for the area, not a judgement on any company. A constituency sees a few dozen formations a week, so the four-week figure is the one to quote and a single week should not be. The official ONS business demography for the area arrives about fifteen months after the fact and stops at local-authority level; this is the same register, counted weekly.
