| Summary |
The “Survey on the State of New Business Start-ups” has been conducted continuously since 1969 for the purpose of apprehending the state of new business. Since 1991, it has been conducted annually, resulting in the accumulation of data such as age at the start of new business and start-up costs, which can be used for time series comparisons, as well as the carrying out of analyses from a variety of viewpoints. As of 2000, the survey excluded the real estate rental industry. All chronological data have been recounted to exclude real estate rental businesses. In conjunction with the launch of the Japan Finance Corporation in October 2008, the Japan Finance Corporation Research Institute has taken over the surveys from its predecessor, the National Life Finance Corporation Research Institute. In addition to an overall image of new business start-ups, the 2010 survey focuses on entrepreneurs’ personal networks and experience in the field (experience in jobs relating to the current business) and uncovers their actual situations, but this aspect has been analyzed using data from a special survey with the expanded survey sample (SSJDA survey number 0779). Note that the 2010 special survey expanded the sample to “companies that received financing from October 2008 to September 2009,” which also includes the data from this survey. |
