Small companies were the most common enterprise model in Spain as of 2023. That year, there were more than 1.7 million companies that had no employees. On the other side of the coin, only 190 companies had 5000 or more employees.

Large companies In 2022, five Spanish companies had a workforce of over 100,000 persons: ACS, Inditex, Mercadona, Prosegur and Telefonica. With more than 165 thousand employees, the multinational clothing company Inditex ranked as the firm with the largest staff in the country. However, in terms of sectorial distribution of the largest companies by number of employees, the leaders were active in the areas of corporate services and retail trade.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

Small- and medium-sized enterprises, or SMEs, are a crucial element of the Spanish economic fabric. Not only do they constitute the vast majority of the companies in Spain, but they also employ the largest share of the workforce. The overwhelming majority of small and medium-sized enterprises are micro, meaning that they employ fewer than ten workers. Despite their small staff, the 2.7 million micro firms present in 2023 had a remarkably higher number of persons employed than their larger counterparts. That year, the contribution of SMEs to the Spanish economy amounted to 384 billion euros (micro firms alone gave almost 170 billion euros).

As of January 2023, Norsk Sykepleierforbund ranked first with over 150,000 employees. The company employs health care personnel all across the country. Medtronic Norge AS ranked second with 90,000 employees, followed by Cbre AS.

This table provides up-to-date information about the opinions held by Dutch entrepreneurs on their achievements, expectations and judgments regarding their business. This panel survey is aimed at gaining insight into the current situation, future development and the judgments of Dutch enterprises. As a result it is possible to detect turning points in optimism or pessimism at an early stage, providing an early indication of possible trend changes in the economic activities of the Dutch enterprises. Data are broken down by main business activities (SIC 2008) and size- classes. The questions submitted to the entrepreneurs at the beginning of a quarter concern output, turnover, prices, order books, stocks, investments, competitive position, economic climate, staff size and the obstacles they have encountered. In answering the questions relating to developments in the past three months and expectations for the next three months, the entrepreneurs are asked for a comparison with the preceding period of three months.

The aggregation ‘all enterprises (no finance or energy)’ includes all available branches questioned in the Business Survey Netherlands. Because not every branch is questioned monthly, this aggregation will only have data available for the first month of each quarter. The aggregation ‘C industry, H-S services and 45+47’ includes all monthly questioned branches and serves as a subtotal of the monthly questionnaire.

Data available from: January 2015

Status of the figures: All figures are definitive.

When will new figures be published? Figures of June 2025 are expected to be published the 27th of June 2025.

The dataset contains the businesses and employees surveyed in the 9th Census of Industry and Services. The survey units are: sole proprietorships, partnerships and corporations, cooperatives (excluding social cooperatives, covered by the survey on non-profit institutions), private law consortia, economic public bodies, special companies and public utility companies. For the purposes of the census, self-employed workers and freelancers are also considered enterprises. The companies are classified by Ateco 2007 (5 digits), number of workers (employees, independent, external, temporary) and their characteristics. NOTE: not all categories of workers are classified according to the same characteristics: e.g. nationality is only available for employees, profession only for employees, etc.). This dataset was released by the municipality of Milan.

This table contains 2736 series, with data starting from 2001 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years). This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (1 item: Canada) Business dynamics measure (16 items: Number of active employer businesses in the private sector; Number of entrants; Number of incumbents; Number of exits; ...) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) (19 items: Private sector; Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting; Mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction; Utilities; ...) Firm size (9 items: Private sector; From 0 to less than 100 employees; From 0 to less than 50 employees; Less than 5 employees; ...).

According to the source, there were registered 2,173 large enterprises in Romania in 2022 (0.2 percent of total registered enterprises), accounting for 56 percent of the total annual revenue of all enterprises combined and over 1.5 million employees. It was followed by employees in microentreprises (up to 9 employees) — over one million.

The Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS) includes measures of establishment openings and closings, firm startups, job creation and destruction by firm size, age, and industrial sector, and several other statistics on business dynamics. The U.S. economy is comprised of over 6 million establishments with paid employees. The population of these businesses is constantly churning -- some businesses grow, others decline and yet others close. New businesses are constantly replenishing this pool. The BDS series provide annual statistics on gross job gains and losses for the entire economy and by industrial sector, state, and MSA. These data track changes in employment at the establishment level, and thus provide a picture of the dynamics underlying aggregate net employment growth.

There is a longstanding interest in the contribution of small businesses to job and productivity growth in the U.S. Some recent research suggests that it is business age rather than size that is the critical factor. The BDS permits exploring the respective contributions of both firm age and size.

BDS is based on data going back through 1976. This allows business dynamics to be tracked, measured and analyzed for young firms in their first critical years as well as for more mature firms including those that are in the process of reinventing themselves in an ever changing economic environment.

Number local units or enterprises shows the number of businesses by employment size band. A local units is a place of work factory, a shop, or a branch. An enterprise can be thought of as the overall business, made up of all the individual sites or workplaces (local units). It is defined as the smallest combination of legal units (generally based on VAT and/or PAYE records) that has a certain degree of autonomy within an enterprise group. SME data can be found in these table. An SME is any business with less than 250 employees. Micro-enterprises have up to 10 employees. Small enterprises have up to 50 employees. Medium-sized enterprises have up to 250 employees. Figures are provided for VAT and/or PAYE based enterprises and local units. Where an enterprise has several local units, the location of the enterprise is generally the main operating site or the head office. Since 2008 the publication has been enhanced to include enterprises based on PAYE employers that are not also registered for VAT, extending the scope from the previous VAT based enterprise publication. This is a major change to the scope of the publication. The increase in units is most noticeable in the VAT-exempt industries of finance (J), education (M), health (N) and public administration (L, O and Q). Analysis for VAT and/or PAYE based enterprises can be found on the ONS website in their reports titled UK Business: Activity, Size and Location using the link below. Where an enterprise has several local units, the location of the enterprise is generally the main operating site or the head office. Data on size of firms (micro-business, SME, large) for business and employees in London by industry can be found on the ONS website. Trend data by MSOA is also available.

Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census Bureau. These are Census Bureau boundaries with water and/or coastlines clipped for cartographic purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2010 AWATER (Area Water) boundaries offered by TIGER. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters).
