How to read this data

Registration numbers measure the creation of legal entities. They do not indicate whether those entities later became profitable, raised funding, employed people or remained active. The purpose of this series is to study incorporation activity and changes in preferred legal structures over time.

Source: MCA monthly incorporation data compiled in the CompanysRegistration.com Registration Trend dataset. Missing MCA source periods, where applicable, are disclosed and are not estimated.
