Abstract
The Interdepartmental Business Register (IDBR) is a comprehensive database of UK businesses, drawn from administative data sources. This article intially provides a short explanation of the IDBR. The focus of the article is then directed to the development of the IDBR as a research tool by staff at the Virtual Microdata Laboratory (VML). The resulting Business Structure Database (BSD) is now routinely used for academic and government studies.
