Statistics on Businesses

These pages provide access to the range of data that the Scottish Executive publishes on businesses that operate in Scotland. Most are derived from an analysis of data collected by the Office for National Statistics:

• Scottish firms' employment and financial performance

• Number and size of firms operating in Scotland

• Research and development undertaken in Scottish firms

• Higher education business links (not National Statistics)

Use the panel on the left to see related areas within the Scottish Executive, link to other organisations or find out about our methods.
