I think you'd be better off removing limited and ltd from the data since most of them will be limited companies. The actual name is the more interesting part.

but in general very insightful đđ»

That is a very fair point, because they are so big they also caused the most problems with the color scheme. If I use this dataset again I will remove!

The most typical British business is confirmed to be a âproperty management services companyâ.

Why it counts LTD but not INC?

Limited solutions. Sounds about right.
bigchard69 OP t1_jduptaa wrote
It is an interesting question. INC will be in there but it only has 5,000 occurrences so it will be much smaller than LTD with 2,293,180 occurrences. INC is not typically used in UK company names, probably more common across the pond.

Is there a geographic angle or is it random? I.e. when I'm looking at Scotland, are those the words most commonly used by businesses in that region or are they just randomly there?
I ask because there are some puzzling things, like "Kent" in NI and "Scotland" in Kent.

The words are randomly placed in the UK. I fit them in a UK map because all the company names are from the UK and the Python library made it super easy.

Company services management limited would be the perfect name

LMAO
I was actually thinking that the results would be more interesting if words like "limited" had been excluded

The ones I thought were the most out of place were Wales on the Norfolk coast, southern and Bristol in Scotland and Birmingham in NI. I didnât spot the two you mentioned.

You thought what was beeches?
Edit: just an attempt to badly superimpose the Union Jack over the map of the UK. Perhaps using it in portrait form (not sure what the correct vexillogical terminology is) would have worked better

âandâ is a little too prominent. Usually one of the excluded list in word clouds.

A lot of this is too blurry to read. But from what I could make out, Dragon is more common than Organic, which I think is great

There is one interesting data point there: when you register a limited company with the UK government youâre given the choice whether to format the name as âCompanyname Limitedâ or âCompanyname Ltdâ. So this shows that the split between the two is about equal.

This has nothing to do with the sub. Not only is this data not beautiful it's not even readable.

Limited property management services company, ltd
It is the UK, so we can't expect an abundance of property of course
