What this means if you’re starting one
Most of your competition will be other newcomers
32% of the 254 marketing or advertising agency companies in the Enfield area (EN postcodes) were formed in 2025–26, against 20% of all companies in the Enfield area (EN postcodes). Nationally, that share of new companies is higher than 92% of UK industries.
New rivals are arriving faster than in most trades, so your customers already have fresh options. Being new is not a difference on its own.
Most of these businesses are run by one or two people
The typical marketing or advertising agency company in the Enfield area (EN postcodes) reports 1 employee; the top quarter has 1 or more (125 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 marketing or advertising agency company in the Enfield area (EN postcodes) carries £1,169 of equipment and other fixed assets after depreciation, lower than 94% of UK industries.
Most of the cost of entry is time and running costs rather than kit, so a small test is cheap.

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.
