84 new businesses were created every hour across Britain in the first half of 2025 despite continued economic uncertainty, according to the annual Business Hotspots list from iwoca — one of Europe’s largest SME lenders. iwoca’s research, derived from an analysis of Companies House data, finds that over 363,000 businesses were registered in Britain between January and June 2025.
