Section 17

Business Enterprise

Statistics in this section relate in general to the place and behavior of the business firm and business initiative in the American economy. The data include measures of and changes in the numbers of businesses; assets and liabilities of corporations; types of business income and expenditures; business sales and inventories; and consumer cooperatives.

The principal sources of these data are the Survey of Current Business and its National Income Supplement (1954) and U.S. Income and Output (1958), published by the Office of Business Economics, Department of Commerce; the Federal Reserve Bulletin issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and monthly statements published by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. Other sources are publications of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Internal Revenue Service.

Firms in operation, entering, and leaving.-The number of firms in existence and the number of new, discontinued, and transferred businesses are estimated by the Office of Business Economics on the basis of data from the Internal Revenue Service and the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance.

A business firm is defined by the Office of Business Economics as a business organization under a single management and may include one or more plants or outlets; a firm doing business in more than one industry is classified by industry according to the major activity of the firm as a whole. A self-employed person is considered a firm only if he has either one or more employees or has an established place of business. This count of firms differs from that of the Bureau of the Census which ordinarily represents a count of establishments, e. g., manufacturing plants or retail stores, larger than a minimum specified size.

New businesses include firms which are newly established; discontinued businesses refer only to liquidations. Business transfers represent purchases of going businesses, acquisitions of businesses through inheritance, transfers of businesses to a trustee or executor, as well as changes in the form of business organization.

Industrial and commercial failures.-These data are collected by Dun & Bradstreet, and are available by years since 1857 and by months since 1900. The number of failures includes concerns involved in court proceedings or voluntary actions likely to end in loss to creditors; discontinuances with outside obligations paid in full are not included. Data cover manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, building contractors, and certain types of commercial service, but do not encompass all business enterprises. Specific types of business not listed are: Finance, insurance, and real estate companies; railroads and steamship lines; amusement enterprises. Failures data are published monthly in summary form in Dun's Review & Modern Industry.

Corporate assets and liabilities.-Data on corporate assets and liabilities are from the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange Commission. In its annual report, Statistics of Income, Corporation Income Tax Returns, the Internal Revenue Service presents balance sheet and income account data for all United States corporations. In a quarterly release entitled Net Working Capital of U.S. Corporations, the Securities and Exchange Commission publishes data on the net working capital position of all United States corporations, exclusive of banks, savings and loan associations, and insurance companies, showing the principal components of current assets and liabilities.

Corporate income, profits, dividends, and taxes. Several agencies (the Internal Revenue Service, the Office of Business Economics, and the Federal Reserve Board)
