The largest groups of micro businesses in Amber Valley are construction (770), wholesale and retail (610) and professional, scientific and technical services (580).

Amber Valley ranks 872 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 89% is in line with the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (610 micro businesses in Amber Valley), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records.
