Annual statistics on the number of businesses (enterprises) are available from the ONS release—UK Business: Activity, Size and Location at:

Data on the number of enterprises broken down by districts, counties and unitary authorities can be found in table B1.1 of the publication.
The table below has been produced using extracts from the Inter Departmental Business Register. (IDBR) It shows the number of enterprises in Peterborough local authority area from 2001 to 2013. Data for 2014 will be available at the end of October 2014. The figures in the table have been rounded to protect confidentiality. Please note that these numbers do not include very small businesses, typically those below the threshold for VAT and PAYE.
