What this means if you’re starting one
Most of your competition will be other newcomers
38% of the 449 web design and software 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 98% 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.
the Enfield area (EN postcodes) has fewer of these businesses than most places
Web design and software companies are 1% of companies registered in the Enfield area (EN postcodes), against 1.8% UK-wide (0.6× 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 web design and software company in the Enfield area (EN postcodes) carries £3,056 of equipment and other fixed assets after depreciation, lower than 90% 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.
