That show, on Monday, the report of enterprise in the Netherlands to 2016 of the Chamber of Commerce (KvK). The number of full-time self-employed increased in 2016 by 4% to a total of 882.694 self-employed. The number of part-time self-employed persons grew by 5 percent compared to a year earlier.
The increase of the number of enterprises is partly due to a record number of 192.672 starters. Also, there were fewer terminations than in the past five years. The number of beginning full-time self-employed persons decreased slightly, but that was offset by a considerable increase of the number of part-time starters.
The Chamber of commerce suspects that more people have a part-time business started because they undertake with other activities to combine. This may be a part-time job, voluntary work or household work.
Increase the number of women
what is Striking is the increase in the number of women that a company starts. That percentage rose from 32 percent in 2010 to 36 percent in 2016. In 2016 for the first time, more women (52 percent) than men registered as part-time start-up entrepreneur. In 2015 were men, with 51 percent still in the majority.
The average age of the entrepreneur increased slightly. In 2011, it was another 44 years, in 2016, entrepreneurs are on average 46 years old.
Industry
The number of starters and stoppers differs greatly per sector. The number of enterprises in the industry increased in 2016 by 20 percent. In the logistics industry grew by 7 percent. Main cause for this increase is the changed legislation, allowing more taxi companies register at the Chamber of commerce.
The number of companies in the agriculture and horticulture decreased by 15 percent. That decline is, according to the Chamber of commerce already going on, because it is often difficult for successors to be found in the sector.
Survival
Five years after the foundation consists of about 60 percent of the companies yet. Also there are strong differences by sector. For financial institutions is that 75 percent of the companies five years after the foundation still exists. The survival of companies in the retail sector are the smallest. That means only 46 percent of the more than five years.
In 2015 went 4.065 main offices bankrupt. That is 16 percent less than in 2015. However, there were more branches involved in the bankruptcy: 1.735 opposite 1.061 a year earlier. The main reason of the large number of subsidiaries that in a bankruptcy, is the bankruptcy of many retail chains.
