This publication provides an overview of the data contained in the Business Longitudinal Database (BLD) and examples of its analytical potential. The BLD comprises characteristics and financial data sourced from the first Business Characteristics Survey (BCS), ATO administrative data (including BAS and BIT data), as well as data on exports and imports from the Australian Customs Service.
