Rank every area on any measure

Every council, region or Westminster constituency in one table, ranked on the measure you pick over the last 4, 8 or 12 complete weeks: as a count, for every 1,000 companies already on the register, or for every 10,000 residents. Click an area for its page. Every view has a shareable link.

How to read it

"Formed at their own address" leaves out companies registered at a formation agent or a virtual office, as every page here does, because a formation agent's district isn't a busy local economy; "all companies incorporated" counts them, and the "share at formation-agent addresses" measure shows where they sit. "Expected to trade" is the sum of each company's measured probability of becoming a real trading business, from what happened to similar companies (the method). Verified websites and food premises accrue in the weeks after incorporation, so a recent week shows fewer than it will.

The register denominator is the number of companies at their own address on the register at the start of the month, from the monthly snapshot (an address shared by 50 or more companies counts as nobody's own); an area with under 1,000 isn't ranked on it. Residents are the ONS mid-year estimate for each council, Open Government Licence. A week the register disturbed (the outage of June 2026) is left out of every sum.
