To this end, it develops business promotion actions with the aim of encouraging the creation of companies and supporting the consolidation of existing ones, making them more competitive and with greater capacity to generate employment. The business fabric of the city is characterized by the predominance of microenterprises, highlighting that 59.53% of them only have 1 to 2 employees, 27.42% have 3 to 5 employees, and finally 13.04% have 6 to 9 employees. In order to make them more competitive and with greater capacity to generate employment, it is considered of interest to support their creation, growth and maintenance. According to the data extracted by the Employment and Local Development Observatory of the Multiterritorial Information System of Andalusia (SIMA), corresponding to the month of March 2024 (latest data published), the number of companies registered with Social Security in the city amounts to 3,313 companies, which are distributed according to their legal form as follows, 38.79% do so under the legal form of a natural person or self-employed, the 39.90% are Limited Companies, 0.54% Cooperative Companies, 6.61% Public Limited Companies, and 14.16% other legal forms; of which 3,189 (96.26%) do not reach the figure of 50 employees, the distribution by employment segment being the following: Up to 9 employees 2,691 (81.23%), from 10 to 49 employees 498 (15.03%) and 50 and more employees 124 (3.74%). The distribution by sectors is as follows: 90.64% services sector, 5.67% construction, 3.32% industry and finally agriculture with 0.36%. The number of Social Security affiliates in the Self-Employed regime in the month of March 2024 rose to 5,153, with 1,285 (24.94%) being registered in social security with workers and 3,868 (75.06%) lacking workers, that is, these are companies in which the only worker is the businessman/entrepreneur himself. These figures reflect the reality of a scarce business network that is also very small in terms of its size, which is a problem for its growth. That is why a greater density of companies in the city is intended.
