New entries into the commercial register for March 2013 compaered to last year’s numbers

Do the number of commercial register entries for March exceeds the numbers for the same month last year? The following entry gives insight.

Q1 Handelsregisterneueinträge

After less companies had been entered into the commercial register in February as compared to the same month the year prior, the numbers in March now show a continuation of this trend. In March 2012, there were 3,413 new entries across Switzerland, but this year there were only 3,374. This is an absolute loss of 39 entries which represents a drop of 1.1%. Again it is necessary to mention, just as it was with February, that March 2013 was one work day shorter than the same month one year ago. If one averages the days and adds the additional workday, then the numbers for March would have exceeded those from the previous year. Therefore, even though there is a minimal reduction in the number of new commercial register entries  this can be interpreted positively.

Looking at the cantonal and language regional perspective, the following numbers are of particular interest. In comparing the numbers from March 2013 to those of the March of the year prior, the German speaking region of Switzerland can boast a slight increase in commercial register entries (15 more, an increase of 0.7%), while the other language regions saw a decrease (the Romandie: 32 less, a decrease of 3.2% / Ticino: 22 less, a decrease of 8.3%). A substantial contribution to the negative national numbers were the cantons Vallais (39 less at -22.7%), Zurich (27 less at -4.7%), suprisingly Lucerne (27 less at -18.2%), St. Gallen (23 less at -10.9%), and Ticino (22 less at -8.3%). The effects of this were minimized mainly be the new commercial register entries in the cantons Zug (25 more at +16.1%) and Berne (23 more at +9.1%).

*Cantons with fewer entries in absolute terms can see a much larger percentage change in their numbers.

The chart below shows the absolute change in the number of commercial register entries in the left column and the relative change in comparison to the same time in the previous year in the right column for each canton with the national total listed at the bottom.
