<p>There is no single data source that comprehensively measures all business start-ups
within the UK. However, as a near proxy BankSearch collates data on the number of
new business bank accounts opened in Great Britain. This can be used as an indicative
measure of business start-up activity and is the most comprehensive source available
to BIS.</p><p>In the following table, estimated numbers of new business start-ups
in the York local authority area are shown using the BankSearch data.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Estimated
number of business start-ups in York authority area</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>1,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>1,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>1,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>1,400</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>1,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>1,100</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong>Source:
