There were around *** million private sector businesses operating in the United Kingdom in 2024, with ******* of these being construction businesses and a further ******* professional, scientific, and technical businesses. The overall number of businesses in the UK reached a peak of **** million in 2020, but fell quite sharply to **** million following the COVID-19 pandemic. UK business confidence muted in 2025 Several metrics suggest UK businesses are operating in a tough environment in 2025. Business confidence has generally declined since 2022, with many firms pointing to an increased tax burden as one of their main challenges. Inflation remains a major concern too, with elevated prices remaining in place from the inflation crisis, and expected to rise further in 2025. This challenging environment may also cause firms to think twice when it comes to hiring, with the UK labor market starting to show signs of this happening already. Labor market cooldown well underway A survey from Spring 2025 that asked businesses about their employment intentions revealed that ** percent of firms intended to reduce their staff levels, the highest share in that survey since 2020. The number of job vacancies in the UK has also continued to fall, with just ******* in June 2025. This was the fewest number of vacancies since April 2021, and outside the pandemic, the lowest since May 2015. The number of employees on UK payrolls has also declined recently, with the pace of this reduction accelerating since the start of the year.

Number of Businesses statistics on the Directory & Mailing List Publishing industry in the UK
Compass Group had by far the highest number of global employees among companies based in the United Kingdom as of 2025, at approximately 500,000 employees. Tesco had the second-highest number of employees at around 336,400, followed by HSBC Holdings which had 211,000 employees. In the same year, HSBC Holdings had an annual revenue of 142.3 billion U.S. dollars, the third-highest among UK-based companies. The oil and gas giant Shell had the highest annual revenue at over 283 billion dollars, ahead of BP at 189 billion dollars. How many businesses are there in the UK? In 2024, there were approximately 5.5 million business enterprises in the UK, down from a peak of 5.98 million in 2020. Although there were just 1,930 large firms that employed 1,000 people or more, these firms employed more than a quarter of the UK's private sector workforce, and made a combined turnover of approximately 1.69 trillion British pounds. As of this year, the construction industry had the highest number of enterprises by sector, at over 870,000. The sector with the most workers was that of wholesale and retail, which collectively employed just under 4.9 million people in 2024, and also had the highest turnover compared to other sectors, at over 1.8 trillion pounds. Current UK economic climate Although the UK economy is expected to grow in 2025, growth has been downgraded from earlier forecasts, while inflation and unemployment are expected to be higher than initially thought. According to the business confidence index, sentiment among businesses at the end of 2024 was lower than it has been since early 2021. Furthermore, since the start of 2025, businesses have been shedding jobs at an accelerating rate, possibly due to recent tax rises, which was seen as the main external concern of businesses in early 2025. The precarious state of the UK's government finances, and potential tax rises in the next budget, are also likely feeding into this pessimistic mood.
