Our figures for July 2013 (which cover the 1st - 29th of the month) revealed that 1,247 companies were formed; this represents an increase of 28% on the same period in 2012 when 972 were recorded.
Almost 24% of this July's start-ups are operating in the professional services sector, with a further 11% in wholesale & retail, 9% in both social & personal services and IT, and 7% in the construction sector.
The figure for start-ups this month make it the best July for company incorporations since 2008 when 1,291 companies were established.
