United Kingdom small-business policy data and source hub

Final 2024 Annual Business Survey estimates for the UK non-financial business economy, Sections A to S (part), split by IDBR employment size band and including the all-size total.

Margin101 selects the 2024 A to S (part) aggregate row from each ONS size-band worksheet. Source monetary values remain nominal GBP millions. Turnover per enterprise is turnover in GBP millions multiplied by 1,000,000 and divided by the estimated enterprise count, rounded to two decimals. Each ratio divides the named GBP-million measure by turnover and rounds to six decimals.

• The Annual Business Survey is a sample survey, not a census; final 2024 results included 69.90% of sampled businesses.
• Coverage is the UK non-financial business economy, approximately two-thirds of UK gross value added, and excludes industries outside the ONS A to S (part) scope.
• Employment size bands use Inter-Departmental Business Register employment; ONS removed the workbook employment-level measures while investigating comparability with BRES.
• The figures aggregate very different industries and locations and are not benchmarks, forecasts, margins, or advice for an individual business.
• Current-year estimates can be revised in the following annual release; users should verify the latest ONS edition before relying on the figures.
• The module is descriptive context only; it does not recommend a size-band target or predict an individual business outcome.
