UK Business Counts lists 37,395 business sites in the North Yorkshire local authority area in 2026. Compared with England as a whole, these sectors have a larger presence:
- Farms and agricultural businesses (5,945): where to buy their products and a form for wholesale enquiries.
- Hotels, B&Bs and holiday lets (780): rates by season and what is nearby.
- Gyms, sports clubs and leisure businesses (825): the timetable and photos of the facilities.
- Veterinary practices (125): a map and opening hours and emergency details.

Among the most common trades: 290 hotels, 315 accounting and auditing practices and 10 portrait photography studios. 85.4% are micro businesses with up to nine employees. Whatever the sector, customers check the same things first: what you do, where, and how to get in touch.

Registration and privacy basics for Boroughbridge
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but a few rules often come up:
- A limited company has to be registered with Companies House before it starts trading; registering online costs £100. GOV.UK: register a limited company
- You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
- When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling
General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
