A local poll shows that 67% of all Dominican companies are micro-businesses. Only 12% of 39,029 companies that operated formally in 2010 employed more than 50 workers. This data is from the Directory of Companies 2010 produced by the National Statistics Office (ONE), as reported in Hoy. ONE says that in the Dominican Republic 42 of every 100 companies have their main office in the National District and seven of every 10 have offices either in the National District, the province of Santo Domingo or Santiago.
Also, the stats show that in the Dominican Republic one of every three formally incorporated businesses belongs to the store category, while one in every nine is a manufacturer. But industry employs many more people. 18 of every 100 people in employment work in commerce, compared to 29 of every 100 who work in industries.
ONE says that in 2009, there were 26,000 formally organized companies.
