Business formation is more than a count of new entities — it’s a signal of how the economy, regulation, and risk are unfolding in real time.

The Middesk Index Report delivers a quarterly benchmark built from our proprietary registration data, providing a clear view of the trends shaping today’s business landscape.

What’s inside the report

• Evidence that new business creation is holding steady well above pre-COVID levels
  
• The outsized role of certain states that consistently outperform the national baseline
  
• How shifts in entity type — from LLCs to corporations — could mark a long-term change in growth ambitions
  
• Which risk-prone categories are losing momentum, and the implications for compliance and oversight

Why this report matters

Business formation data is often overlooked, yet it serves as an early indicator of market health, regulatory pressure, and emerging risks. The Middesk Index brings this data into focus — helping business leaders, compliance teams, and strategists make better-informed decisions about what’s ahead.
