Consistent with trends in recent years, there were more incorporations in the third quarter of 2019 than in the same period in 2018. Increases were seen in all constituent parts of the UK .
The total number of public companies on the register continues to decline. On 31st December 2018 there were 6,578 public companies on the register, whereas by 30th September 2019 there were only 6,364.

The effective register size is the total register size less the number of companies in the course of dissolution or liquidation.
