In the Indigenous Business and Corporation Snapshot Study 3.0 we report statistics describing ‘the Indigenous business ecosystem’, which is made up of three separate groups: (1) Indigenous businesses listed on the five registries participating in this study; (2) Indigenous corporations with operating Australian Business Number from the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations registry; and (3) sole traders and partnerships with at least 50% of owners selfidentifying as Indigenous in the Australian Census and Centrelink records and that can be linked to businesses in the Business Longitudinal Analysis Data Environment or BLADE. At present there is no Australian Bureau of Statistics data available on owners of companies who self-identified as Indigenous. Indigenous companies in our study are only those that appear on registries and thus represent an under-estimate of the actual Indigenous ecosystem.
