Business Registers
• Designing business registers benefits from great inter-institutional
cooperation.
• Business registers enhance the comparability between statistical
outputs from different fields of statistical knowledge.
• They enable users to cross-reference data from micro-data
databases…
• … and allow, by themselves, the monitoring of business and
entrepreneurial dynamics.
