Swedish figures: Statistics Sweden's Business Register keeps only some of the workplaces that closed before 4 October 2026, when we started collecting, so closures are counted from then. Until there are three years of history, growth over time looks higher than it really is.

A move is a place of business closing and the same company opening one in another area within 90 days. Chains are left out. A business that moves and keeps its place-of-business number isn't counted here yet, so the real number of moves is higher.
