What this means if you’re starting one
Most of these businesses are run by one or two people
The typical dj or live music company in Liverpool reports 1 employee; the top quarter has 1 or more (131 filings).
You are mostly up against owner-operators. Your own hours are likely to be your biggest cost, and the easiest one to undercount.
You can start without much equipment
The typical dj or live music company in Liverpool carries £1,295 of equipment and other fixed assets after depreciation, lower than 95% of UK industries.
Most of the cost of entry is time and running costs rather than kit, so a small test is cheap.
Cash is tight in this trade
At year end the typical dj or live music company in Liverpool holds £4,500 in cash and owes £4,946; that cash figure is lower than 82% of UK industries.
Typical operators end the year holding less cash than they owe, so there is little slack if takings dip or a big bill lands early.

Check my ideaWhat these figures can’t tell you
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.
