Name of Establishment

Description

Definition
The establishment is the statistical or enumeration unit. Each unit is classified in an industry that reflects its main economic activity---the activity that contributes the biggest or major portion of the gross income or revenues of the establishment.

An establishment is defined as an economic unit engaged in one or predominantly one kind of economic activity under a single ownership or control at a single fixed location. Thus, mining/construction sites, factories, electric plants, stores, shops, hotels, restaurants, bus companies, banks, radio stations, real estate developers and the like are considered establishments.

For multi-unit enterprises with different outlets and subsidiaries or whose activities are located at different locations, each branch, outlet or subsidiary is considered an establishment. However, security detachments, janitorial units and power barges are not considered as establishments.
