Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Is Harringay the Entrepreneurial Hub of the Borough?
Does data from Companies House suggest that Harringay and Bounds Green are the entrepreneurial heart of the borough?
Data from Companies House suggests that Harringay and Bounds Green wards are the entrepreneurial heart of the borough.
Recently I stumbled over some surprising data from Companies House. It shows that there are over five times the number of companies registered in Harringay and Bounds Green than in wards like Fortis Green and Stroud Green.
Does this suggest a fantastic blossoming of home-based entrepreneurship in the 'hood or is something else lurking beneath the stats. I'd be very interested in any explanations folk might have.
I mastered visualising the data by extracting mappable ward boundary data and plugging it and the Companies House data on to a Google map. Sadly, I can't embed it on this discussion, but it does live happily elsewhere on the site. Click a ward to see the number of companies registered there.

It's more likely that there's an accountant(s) who is offering Registered Office facilities...

I had wondered about this. I noticed that 641 Green Lanes, for example, is the registered office for about thirty or so businesses, but I'm not clear about the scale of these registered office businesses in areas like ours. Do you think it would explain the whole of the discrepancy?
