Birmingham Business Startups

Birmingham, dubbed "the first manufacturing town in the world" in the 18th century, has long been a centre for business and innovation. At the forefront of the Industrial Revolution, the city's pioneers lead advances in science, technology and economics that shaped the modern industrial landscape. Today, Britain's second city is a major international commercial centre - little wonder then that it has a thriving business startup community.

These entrepreneurs are running startup businesses across a range of sectors and, as our company formations statistics* show, many of them are recognising the benefits operating their business as a limited company. The number of new company formations registered in Birmingham frequently dominate the West Midlands area.
