The construction sector even benefited from a steady performance in the last quarter of 2006 with business failures increasing by just 2% over the same period last year.
Also in good shape across 2006 was the service sector with 7.7% fewer business failures than in 2005 according to the Equifax Report. And the last quarter of 2006 suggests that this positive trend could continue in 2007, with a 4% reduction in failures year on year.
