This statistics collection contains the Insolvency Service’s statistical releases on company insolvency (companies that 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 statistics publication was released only quarterly. These historic quarterly publications can also be found on this page. A combined company and individual monthly statistics publication that was produced between April 2020 and February 2024 can be found here.
This publication is designated as accredited official statistics. The publication was independently reviewed by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) in July 2024. They comply with the standards of trustworthiness, quality, and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics. Further details of the OSR’s review of these statistics can be found in their published Compliance Check.
The annual Business Insolvency Demography publication is also included on this page. This publication breaks down the numbers and rates of businesses which have experienced a company insolvency by turnover, number of employees, industry sector, age and region.
