What this means if you’re starting one
the Southall area (UB postcodes) has fewer of these businesses than most places
Business consultancy companies are 2.1% of companies registered in the Southall area (UB postcodes), against 4.1% UK-wide (0.5× the national share).
That could be a gap or a sign of weak demand. The register cannot tell which.
You can start without much equipment
The typical business consultancy company in the Southall area (UB postcodes) carries £2,234 of equipment and other fixed assets after depreciation, lower than 98% of UK industries.
Most of the cost of entry is time and running costs rather than kit, so a small test is cheap.
Most of these businesses are run by one or two people
The typical business consultancy company in the Southall area (UB postcodes) reports 1 employee; the top quarter has 1 or more (448 filings).
You are mostly up against owner-operators. Your own hours are likely to be your biggest cost, and the easiest one to undercount.

Companies are counted where their registered office is, which may be an accountant or a home address rather than a shop. Sole traders and partnerships are not on the register, and electronically filed accounts cover roughly 60–75% of accounts filed each year. The figures describe companies that exist; they cannot prove demand for your idea or predict whether it will work. How the figures are built.
