The following graphs show the numbers of notices of appointment published in the Gazette on a weekly basis. Therefore, they likely lag a week or so behind the actual dates of appointment. The graphs are updated each week.
Although there are very few moratoriums and restructuring plans, I thought I might as well provide graphs for those too. I have drawn the data for these from the Insolvency Service’s monthly statistics.
The quarterly figures for dissolutions (voluntary and compulsory) have been drawn from Companies House’s statistics. Liquidations pale into insignificance against the number of dissolutions: over the last four reported quarters, there were over 700,000 dissolutions but only c.35,000 liquidations (all types).
The following are the changes over Q2 2025 compared with Q2 2024:
- CVLs: almost no change at all in Q2 2025
- MVLs: 7% lower than in Q2 204
- ADMs: 7% lower
- WUCs: 24% higher
- BKYs: 4% lower
