Company Insolvency Statistics Releases
Statistics on new company insolvencies in England and Wales, and related statistics for Scotland and Northern Ireland
In accordance with the plans announced following a user consultation, the monthly and quarterly insolvency statistics have been merged as of 26 April 2024, while retaining the monthly frequency.
The new monthly publications below contain some additional information that was previously only released quarterly, such as seasonally adjusted numbers and rates of insolvency per 10,000 companies.
Monthly individual insolvency statistics can be found on the individual insolvency statistics releases page.
Archived monthly publications prior to March 2024 can be found here.
Company Insolvency Statistics Releases
This statistics collection contains the Insolvency Service’s statistical releases on company insolvency (companies who are unable to pay debts and enter liquidation; or enter administration or other company rescue process).
This page includes monthly statistical releases on company insolvencies in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Prior to March 2024 this was published only quarterly. This publication is designated as official statistics. The Office for Statistics Regulation are currently assessing whether this publication should receive accredited official statistics status.
A one-off publication on Corporate Insolvencies by Size, Age and Location is also included on this page. This experimental Official Statistics release broke down enterprise insolvencies by turnover, number of employees, age and region. This publication is not consistent with the Company Insolvency Statistics release as it is on an enterprise and not a company basis. There are currently no plans to publish an updated version of this.
