The IDBR covers a very high proportion of the employment in the UK, but because it excludes most of the very large number of smallest businesses that operate below the VAT threshold, its coverage in terms of the number of enterprises is only partial (around 50%). In order to correct for this, the figures presented here include estimates for unregistered enterprises together with their related employment. These estimates for unregistered enterprises are taken to be the same as the estimates of unregistered enterprises used in the headline analysis (based on the assumption that unregistered enterprises are all single site enterprises and hence their head and only office will be in Wales). The estimates for unregistered enterprises are calculated using a combination of:
. IDBR data;
. information on persons who are self-employed in their main or second job, taken from the Labour Force Survey carried out by the ONS; and
. information on the numbers of sole traders and partnerships from the Survey of Personal Incomes data provided by the Inland Revenue.

A fuller description of the methodology used can be found at the end of the page found by clicking <a href=http://www.wales.gov.uk/keypubstatisticsforwalesheadline/content/economy/2004/hdw20040930-e.htm target=_blank>here.</a>

Note that the local authority breakdowns of the data are workplace based. Each enterprise and is allocated to a local authority based solely on its physical location.

As all enterprise counts in this dataset have been independently rounded to the nearest 5, the figures may not add up exactly.
