New catering companies in Colchester, by month

Sep 2025 – Aug 2026 · 36 in total

Previous months August 2026

Small numbers move about. At this volume a quiet month and a busy month in the same year is normal, so read the twelve-month total before you read any single month.

2017 to 2026

How far back it goes.

Catering companies registered to a Colchester address by year of incorporation, and this year measured against the same run of months last year.

New catering companies in Colchester, by year

2017 to 2026 · 2026 counts January to August only

Complete years 2026, part year
January to August 2026 26 New catering companies in Colchester so far this year
Same months, 2025 21 Up 24% year on year
2025, the last full year 31 Against 4 in 2017

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.
