One-, two-, three-, four- and five-year survival of newly born businesses are produced by the Office for National Statistics within their Business Demography publication. Data are based on registrations and de-registrations for VAT and PAYE. All one-, two-, three-, four- and five- survival figures are currently available for businesses born in 2004 onwards. The n-year survival percent rate for year X (e.g. 2004) is based on businesses born in year X (e.g. 2004) and still active in year X + n (e.g. 2007 for the 3-year survival rate).
Any cell which is blank contains confidential data. This is data which has been withheld from publication in order that no information relating to an individual business is disclosed. Caution should therefore be exercised if summary data is calculated; it may include blank cells in which case it will not be a true representation of industry or area totals.

Business Demography data is produced from an extract taken from the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) recording the position of active units over a year. In the past, this has been measured from a single point in November one year to a single point in November the following year.
For example, the 2015 publication measured the number of active businesses taken from a specific date in November 2014 to the same date in November 2015.
For the 2016 and subsequent publications, the reference period has moved from November to December for 2015 and 2016 data.
It is the aim to publish statistics on business births, deaths and survival rates for Scotland and Scottish Local Authority Areas as soon as possible after the release of the Office for National Statistics' Business Demography, which are due out each November.
Data is compiled from an extract taken from the Inter-Departmental Business Register recording the position of units at December of the reference year. The latest two years’ estimates on births, deaths and survivals are subject to revision and revisions would normally be made in the following year’s publication.
This slice of multidimensional data is not a Linked Data resource in the database: it's a virtual resource (i.e. you can't query it by SPARQL). But does have a permanent unique URL which can be bookmarked.
