New takeaway companies in the UK, by month

Nov 2025 – Oct 2026 · 19,256 in total

Previous months October 2026

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

2015 to 2026

How far back it goes.

Takeaways companies on the register by year of incorporation, and this year measured against the same run of months last year.

New takeaway companies in the UK, by year

2015 to 2026 · 2026 counts January to October only

Complete years 2026, part year
January to October 2026 16,625 New takeaway companies so far this year
Same months, 2025 14,968 Up 11% year on year
2025, the last full year 17,599 Against 1,000 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 of UK company formation works through it in full, across all 39 trades.

Nov 2025 – Oct 2026

Where they're starting up.

Every town with a page of its own for new takeaway companies: 127 of them, covering 66% of the UK total for the trade. The rest are spread thinly across towns too small to count reliably.

Towns come from the post town on the registered office address, except where that office is a formation agent: those companies are counted in the town established from their directors' other companies, or not counted at all. A town needs at least 30 new takeaway companies in twelve months before it gets a page, so the rows above do not add up to the national total. How towns are worked out.

Once a month, every new takeaway company registered in the UK. The new month's count and the names behind it, by email, with a link to that month's list and its price. Nothing to buy unless you want the list, and one click to stop.
