Two kinds of business stand out against the UK average: holiday lets and other short-stay accommodation, at 5.8 times the national share, and veterinary practices, at 2.2 times.
The biggest single category is domestic construction firms: around 130 of them. At the other end, solicitors’ firms are scarcer than usual: 42% of the UK share.

Around Ilfracombe.
Ilfracombe is a Victorian resort on the rugged north Devon coast, with a busy harbour, Damien Hirst's Verity statue and beaches reached through hand-cut tunnels. Its large Victorian buildings and steep streets make maintenance work demanding. Tourism is seasonal, and many properties are guest houses or holiday lets. A business should cover Combe Martin, Woolacombe and the surrounding villages, while hospitality needs strong visitor visibility and up-to-date booking information.
Barnstaple (9 miles) and South Molton (18 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Elsewhere in Devon, Northam (12 miles), Bideford (14 miles) and Great Torrington (18 miles) are within reach. A longer drive takes in Porthcawl (26 miles) and Dulverton (27 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Ilfracombe, the site can name areas such as Lee, Hele, Berrynarbor, Combe Martin, Mortehoe and Woolacombe.
Ilfracombe addresses fall in the EX postcode area, about 42 miles north-west of Exeter, where we are based.
