The Entrepreneurship Database project collects data on registered firms from 2006 to 2022, focusing on the following three variables: the number of new firms, total number of firms, and number of closed firms.
This table measures the total number of registered companies with limited liability, by the end of each year.
The total business density is defined as the total number of registered firms per 1,000 working-age people (those ages 15¨C64). The units of measurement are private companies with limited liability. The data can help understand the trends in the stock of limited liability companies across economies.
