BT Index

The Federation of Finnish Enterprises has launched Business Transfer Index (BT Index), which describes business transfer activities in Finland as a whole and in separate provinces. BTI is based on the total amount of advertisements (both sell and buy) divided by the total amount of enterprises in Finland. This ratio is marked as 100 in our table (see below).  BT Index in each province is based on the comparison of the national ratio to the numbers in each province (number of ads, number of enterprises).
 

BT Index is a useful tool for many purposes:

-  it enables comparisons between provinces to create competition between actors

- it accelerates business transfers

- it highlights the fact that buying a company is an alternative way to became an entrepreneur 

- it raises awareness of business tranfers

- it helps business transfer professionals measure and manage business transfers activities

BT Index will be updated twice a year.
