Additional Information:

Business survival rates show the percentage of businesses that are still trading a certain number of years after they first started. Those that are no longer trading should not be presumed to be failures. Some will have closed for other reasons - the owner may have retired; the business may have been taken over, it might simply have fully exploited the available market; or it may have completed a time-limited task (for example a company formed by the organisers of an exhibition or a trade fair) The VAT-based survival data is only available at UK, regional and Business Link Operator level. Local Authority level data is not available.
