Details
-
The number of registered company insolvencies in England and Wales was
1,845 in June 2026, similar to in May 2026 (1,849) but 10% lower than
the same month in the previous year (2,048 in June 2025).
-
Company insolvencies in June 2026 consisted of 276 compulsory
liquidations, 1,364 creditors’ voluntary liquidations (CVLs), 191
administrations and 14 company voluntary arrangements (CVAs). There
were no receivership appointments. The number of CVLs was 3% lower
than in May 2026, and 15% lower than in June 2025. Compulsory
liquidations in June 2026 were 2% lower than in May 2026 and 15% lower
than in June 2025. CVAs were 44% lower than in May 2026.
Administrations in June 2026 were 45% higher than in May 2026. Numbers
of administrations in June 2026 were affected by approximately 60
connected companies in the real estate sector entering administration.
-
One in 198 companies (at a rate of 50.5 per 10,000 companies) entered
insolvency between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026. This was a decrease
from the 52.4 per 10,000 companies that entered insolvency in the 12
months ending 30 June 2025. Insolvency rates are calculated on a
12-month rolling basis as a proportion of the total number of
companies on the effective register. The 12-month rolling rates show
longer term trends and reduce the volatility associated with estimates
based on single months.
-
While the insolvency rate has increased since the lows seen in 2020
and 2021, it remains much lower than the peak of 113.1 per 10,000
companies seen during the 2008-09 recession. This is because the
number of companies on the effective register has more than doubled
over this period.
