You asked:
I would like to know the following information please:
How many independent businesses are owned by black British people of African or Caribbean origin in England?
How many of these businesses are located in neighbourhoods where the population of black British people is over 50%?
From the average amount of money spent by black people across England annually, what percentage of this money is spent in those black neighbourhoods across England?
We said:
Thank you for your enquiry.
The Inter Departmental Business Register (IDBR) holds information on the number of businesses registered for VAT and/or PAYE.
Unfortunately we do not hold information on the ethnicity of the business owners and cannot identify independent businesses.
