The Stratford-on-Avon district has been successful in developing an enterprise culture in recent years. Unemployment levels are typically only 1% and there are 41,973 full-time equivalent jobs in the district. At this time, there are 5,900 VAT registered businesses and a high level of self-employment at 12.6% of all jobs.

The district is home to a large proportion of small and medium sized businesses, but also contains larger employers such as Land Rover / Aston Martin, NFU Mutual and AMEC.
