Business in Belfast, by the numbers.
ONS UK Business Counts (2025) and population estimates for the Belfast council area. The council boundary and the built-up city are not quite the same area, so treat these as council-area figures. Business counts are rounded to the nearest 5.

The ONS counts about 11,200 active businesses in the Belfast council area. The population estimates we use do not cover Northern Ireland, so there is no per-head comparison here.
Two kinds of business stand out against the UK average: solicitors’ firms, at three times the national share, and gyms and fitness facilities, at 2.4 times.
The biggest single category is management consultancies: around 345 of them. At the other end, other building completion and finishing businesses are scarcer than usual: 21% of the UK share.

Belfast and the places nearby.
Belfast has shifted from shipbuilding to tech, professional services and tourism, with the Titanic Quarter and Cathedral Quarter now central to its visitor economy and Queen's driving a big student rental market in the south of the city. Word of mouth is powerful here, and so is the sense of which part of the city a business belongs to. A site that names the areas you serve and shows real local work will beat a generic Northern Ireland-wide pitch.
Elsewhere in County Antrim, Newtownabbey (6 miles), Lisburn (8 miles), Carrickfergus (9 miles) and Antrim (14 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Holywood (5 miles) and Newtownards (9 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Bangor, County Down (11 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Belfast, the site can name areas such as Cathedral Quarter, Titanic Quarter, Stranmillis, Malone, Botanic and Ballyhackamore.
Belfast addresses fall in the BT postcode area, about 286 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
