Just over 16,500 Business names have been registered in Ireland during the first 7 months of 2012. This figure is more than double the number of company incorporations for the same period.
Our analysis has shown that 16,501 business names were registered between January and July of this year - an average of 2,357 per month.
This figure represents a small increase on the figure for the same period in 2011 (16,363) and is the third highest total for that period in the last 5 years.
Further analysis of these business names shows that majority have been registered by individuals. Over 10,500 (64%) were registered on behalf of individuals. This practice would be necessary when an individual uses a business name which differs in any way from his/her true surname.
The remainder of the business names were registered by partnerships and companies.
