Canterbury, all trades 52 660

A trade needs at least 30 new companies in Canterbury over twelve months before it gets a page of its own, so the 34 trades below that line are listed without a link. A company carrying more than one SIC code can appear in more than one trade, so the rows add up to more than the number of companies behind them.

New companies in Canterbury, by month

Sep 2025 – Aug 2026 · 660 in total

Previous months August 2026

Registrations dip over Christmas and pick up in the new year almost everywhere, so compare a month with the same month a year earlier rather than with the one before it.

2015 to 2026

How far back Canterbury goes.

Companies registered to a Canterbury address by year of incorporation, across all 39 trades, and this year measured against the same run of months last year.

New companies in Canterbury, by year

2015 to 2026 · 2026 counts January to August only

Complete years 2026, part year
January to August 2026 486 New companies in Canterbury so far this year
Same months, 2025 368 Up 32% year on year
2025, the last full year 542 Against 123 in 2015

Older years undercount. The register only holds companies that still exist. Anything formed in an earlier year and since dissolved has dropped off it, so the further back the chart goes the more it undercounts. That alone makes every trade look like it is growing. Some of the rise here is real growth and some of it is simply that recent companies have had less time to close. The long view works through it in full.
