3.1 Data description | |
The annual Business demography data collection covers variables, which explain the characteristics and demography of the business population. The methodology allows for the production of data on enterprise births (and deaths), that is, enterprise creations (cessations) that amount to the creation (dissolution) of a combination of production factors and where no other enterprises are involved (enterprises created or closed solely as a result of e.g. restructuring, merger or break-up are not considered). In summary, the available indicators are as follows:
|
|
3.2 Classification system | |
NACE Rev. 1.1 was used up to reference year 2007. From 2008 onwards NACE Rev.2 classification (Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community) is used for all indicators. The Regional breakdown of national business demography data at NUTS2 and NUTS3 level is based on the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS). |
|
3.3 Sector coverage | |
Starting with the reference year 2008, data cover NACE Rev. 2 (Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community) sections B to N (excluding activities of holding companies - K64.2). Data for sections P, Q, R and S are provided on a voluntary basis. Number of newly born enterprises and related employment figures are available also for reference years 2004-2007. NACE Rev. 1.1 was used up to reference year 2007 covering the data for sections C to K (excluding activities of holding companies - K74.15). Sections M, N and O were transmitted on a voluntary basis. |
|
3.4 Statistical concepts and definitions | |
For delineation of active units employment and turnover criteria recommended in BD manual were used and if a unit makes investments in a given period.
Unit was not considered to be active if the administrative birth’s date was higher than the end of reference year (i.e. >31.12.2018) and also if the administrative death’s date was lower than the beginning of the reference year (i.e. <1.1.2018) – this was applied only if there was no splitting or merging of enterprise.
|
|
3.5 Statistical unit | |
Enterprise.
The enterprise is the smallest combination of legal units that is an organisational unit producing goods or services, which benefits from a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making, especially for the allocation of its current resources. An enterprise carries out one or more activities at one or more locations. An enterprise may be a sole legal unit.
|
|
3.6 Statistical population | |
The target population is the private sector economy, including all active (having either turnover or employment or makes investments at any time during the reference year) enterprises. In the additional datasets on employer business demography, the threshold is set to one employee at any time of the reference period. The following thresholds are used:

6.1 Legal acts and other agreements | |
Up to reference year 2006 data have been collected under gentlemen's agreement within the context of the development of Structural Business Statistics. Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2008 concerning structural business statistics (recast), Annex IX, provides a legal basis for the data collection. Commission implementing regulation (EU) No 439/2014 of 29 April 2014 ensures data collection on employer enterprises (with at least one employee), high-growth enterprises (more than 10% annual growth over three years) and their employment.

The number of SBS active enterprises was fully evaluated for small enterprises owned by natural persons using business register and tax data. Regarding the number of persons employed; for the purpose of BD statistics estimation based on labour costs was used. Number of persons employed was estimated in the case of small enterprises for which no statistical information was available. SBS figures on number of persons employed in small enterprises owned by natural persons were estimated on the basis of labour costs and average earnings since the information on labour costs was available from tax administrative files.

17.2 Data revision - practice | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Regarding the enterprise deaths 2017, presented figures represent differences between estimated and preliminary data. The differences were caused by missing of administrative sources in the time of preparation of estimated data. This lack of administrative sources resulted in smaller (preliminary) population of active enterprises for reference year t+1 and estimated data were calculated on the basis of comparison of population of active enterprises in year t and preliminary population of active enterprises in t+1.

18 Statistical processingUp | |
---|---|
18.1 Source data | |
The Single Public Register administered according the law, the register of tax payers, the social security register are sources for updating the Statistical Business Register (SBR). In this register all required NACE classes and legal forms are covered.
Any criteria or thresholds are not applied.
No matching, profiling or imputation is carried out within the register.
SBR includes birth and death dates of all enterprises. These dates are officially assigned and recognized by ministries and state institutions according to the relevant legal acts and by the creation of relationships between legal units belonging to the Enterprise. However, some small enterprises owned by natural persons sometimes operate their enterprise without any valid licence. These cases can be specified using administrative data.
Within the data matching process enterprise ID and owner PIN were fully used. 1. Through PIN numbers of active population checking and elimination of multiple enterprise registrations were performed. 2. New births were checked and eliminated by linking ID numbers of ancestors of newly created enterprises with ID numbers of active enterprises. 3. Death population was checked and eliminated through ID numbers of successors of closed enterprises with ID numbers of active enterprises. Every enterprise with 20 and more employees included in new births or death population was then checked manually. Recommended pair-wise matching (name and location) was used in the case of incorrect enterprise ID obtained from administrative source.
In the case of incorrect enterprise ID obtained from administrative source also tax number for data matching was used.
From 2015 population of deaths 2800 units were reactivated and again included into the active population 2018 – births in 2018.
