Définitions

Market Activity : the activity of an enterprise is qualified as market if its operating expenses are normally covered for more than 50% by the sale of its production.

The activity of an establishment is market if this establishment contributes essentially to the production of a good or a service considered to be market, either by nature or because its selling price exceeds 50% of its production costs.

Enterprise :

An enterprise is the smallest combination of legal units that is an organisational unit producing goods and services, enjoying a certain decision-making autonomy, especially for the allocation of its current resources.

Sole proprietorship :

A Sole proprietorship is an enterprise owned exclusively by one natural person and in which there is no legal distinction between the owner and the business entity.

The entrepreneur exercises his activity without having created a distinct legal person.

The different forms of sole propietorships are : storekeeper, craftsman, the professions, farmer.

Every sole propietorship (like every company) is listed in the Sirene business register.

Establishment :

A local unit is a production unit that is geographically individual but legally dependent on a legal unit.An establishment produces goods or services: it can be a factory, a bakery, a clothing store, one of the hotels of a hotel chain, the "shop" of a repairer of computer hardware ...

The establishment or production unit is the most suitable level for a geographical approach to the economy.

Remarque :

The population of establishments is relatively stable over time and is less affected by corporate and financial restructuring than that of companies.

Enterprise birth :

Enterprise birth corresponds to the creation of a new combination of production factors with the restriction that no other enterprise is involved in the event.

Enterprise births are legal units creations. But we use the term "Enterprise" in reason of the specificity of the situation when a new legal unit is created. Indeed, at the moment of the registration, it is impossible to determine if a legal unit is independant or a part of a group. Thus, the birth of a legal unit is considered as a birth of enterprise.

Monthly statistics concerning enterprises births are compiled using the information system SIDE, which is supplied with data from SIRENE and enriched with elements from the SIRUS statistical register.

Enterprise birth correspond to legal units registered in Sirene that become active due to the following reasons :

  • new registration of a legal unit with the creation of a new combination of production factors ;
  • case where the entrepreneur restart an activity after an interruption of more than one year (there is no new registration but use of the former Siren number, generally for a sole proprietorship) ;
  • case where the entrepreneur restart an activity after an interruption of less than one year but with a change of activity ;
  • take over by a legal unit newly registered of all or part of another legal units activities and production factors where there is no economic continuity between the two units.

It is considered that there is no economic continuity of the legal unit if out of the three following components concerning the company's head office, at least two are modified during the takeover: the legal unit controlling the company, the economic activity, and the location.

Since data relative to January 2009, following the enforcement of "auto-entrepreneur" status (renamed "micro-entrepreneur" since December 19, 2014), enterprises births statistics include the registrations registered in Sirene under this status.This counting does not include the entrepreneurs already active before January 1st, 2009 who requested, in exceptional title by March 31st, 2009, at the latest, to benefit from the micro-social system and from the fiscal payment in full discharge for 2009.

The business creation statistics cover all market activities other than agriculture.

Remarque :

The statistics of enterprise birth covers all the trade activities except agriculture.

Creations of establishments :

Since 1 January 2007, the notion of creations of establishments corresponds to the implementation of new means of production, in keeping with the notion of enterprise birth which is based on a harmonised concept at the European level to facilitate comparisons.

Enterprise birth correspond to establishments registered in Sirene that become active due to the following reasons :

1) new registration of an establishment with the creation of a new combination of production factors ;

2) case where the establishment restart an activity after an interruption of more than one year (there is no new registration in Sirene but use of the former Siret number, generally for a sole proprietorship) ;

3) case where the establishment restart an activity after an interruption of less than one year but with a change of activity ;

4) takeover by an establishment newly registered of all or part of another establishment's activities and production factors where there is no economic continuity between the two establishments.

It is considered that there is no economic continuity of the establishment if out of the three following components, at least two are modified during the takeover: the legal unit controlling the establishment, the economic activity, and the location.

Remarque :

Since 1 January 2007, the notion of creations of establishments, in keeping with the notion of enterprise birth, is based on a harmonised concept at the European level to facilitate comparisons.

Legal unit :

A legal unit is a legal entity of public or private law. This legal entity can be:

  • A legal entity, whose existence is recognized by the law independently of the persons or institutions which possess it or are members;
  • A natural person, who, as independent, can exercise an economic activity.

It must be declared to the competent administrative bodies (commercial court registries, social security, tax office, etc.) in order to exist. The existence of this sort of unit depends on the choice of the owners (for organisational, legal or fiscal reasons). The legal unit is the principal unit registered in Sirene.

Remarque :

This definition of the legal unit must not be confused with that of the enterprise, which is considered a being a statistical unit.

Champ

The demography of companies and establishments studies the populations of companies and establishments registered on French territory. It establishes the number and the main events occurring during their existence. In particular, it observes their renewal through creations and disappearances.

The units observed here are not economic enterprises, but legal units registered in the Sirene register and their establishments. We therefore study populations of legal units and establishments.

Likewise, business start-ups are in fact the creation of legal units. However, we speak of business creation because of the specificity of the situation at the time of creation. Indeed, at the time of registration, it is not possible to determine whether a legal unit is independent or belongs to a group. By default, at the time of creation, any entity is therefore independent and considered as a company.

The indicators relate to the stocks of legal units and active establishments as of December 31, 2020. This scope includes financial activities.

The breakdown by sector of activity is now made according to level A10 of the aggregate classification (NA) .

When an enterprise has several establishments, it is located at its head office.
