TwitterThe number of registered company insolvencies in England and Wales was 2,081 in July 2025, similar to both June 2025 (2,053) and the same month in the previous year (2,078 in July 2024). Monthly company insolvency numbers in the first seven months of 2025 were higher than the second half of 2024, but remained slightly lower than the 30-year annual high seen in 2023.
Company insolvencies in July 2025 consisted of 339 compulsory liquidations, 1,583 creditors’ voluntary liquidations (CVLs), 147 administrations and 12 company voluntary arrangements (CVAs). There were no receivership appointments. The number of compulsory liquidations was slightly higher than in June 2025 and remained higher than both July 2024 and the 2024 monthly average. The number of CVLs in July 2025 was similar to both June 2025 and the average numbers seen over the last 18 months. Administrations were higher than in June 2025, while CVAs were lower.
One in 190 companies on the Companies House effective register (at a rate of 52.5 per 10,000 companies) entered insolvency between 1 August 2024 and 31 July 2025. This was a decrease from the 56.6 per 10,000 companies that entered insolvency in the 12 months ending 31 July 2024. 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.

TwitterThe number of registered company insolvencies in January 2024 was 1,769, 5% higher than in the same month in the previous year (1,685 in January 2023). This was higher than levels seen while the Government support measures were in place in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and also higher than pre-pandemic numbers.
The company insolvencies consisted of 339 compulsory liquidations, 1,294 creditors’ voluntary liquidations (CVLs), 120 administrations and 16 company voluntary arrangements (CVAs). CVL numbers were lower than in January 2023, while compulsory liquidation and administration numbers were higher.
For individuals, the total number of insolvencies in January 2024 was 8,089, 4% higher than in the same month in the previous year (7,756 in January 2023).
The individual insolvencies consisted of 768 bankruptcies, 2,793 debt relief orders (DROs) and 4,528 individual voluntary arrangements (IVAs). The higher number of individual insolvencies compared to January 2023 was driven by a 60% increase in the number of DROs and a 20% increase in the number of bankruptcies, while the number of IVAs was 16% lower. IVA numbers in 2023 were lower than in 2022, which saw a record high annual number. DRO and bankruptcy numbers in 2023 were higher than in 2022, although the number of bankruptcies remained well below pre-2020 levels.

TwitterFollowing the rising global inflation, business insolvencies are forecast to increase in all world regions in 2023, increasing by almost ** percent in North America. Following a sharp increase with the 2008-09 financial crash, the number of business insolvencies in North America declined each year from 2010 to 2019. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, except for Eastern and Central Europe and Latin America, the number of insolvencies fell in all regions in 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
