Staffordshire stays at 21st in company formations league table despite a rocky three years for growth

For the third year running growth in company numbers has fallen in Staffordshire. But remember we’re talking about slowing growth, not a fall in numbers. Staffordshire still had a record year for company formations, with 8,878 new businesses registered in 2023 taking the total to 61,360.

Still a solid year for Staffordshire in which it maintained its place at 22nd out of all English counties for company incorporations.
