New company insolvencies

What counts as a new insolvency?

A company is treated as newly insolvent the moment a winding-up resolution or order takes effect, or the moment it is placed into administration. Those two events open formal proceedings; everything that follows — liquidator appointments, creditor meetings, final closures — is a later stage and lives on other pages of this site.

This view therefore answers a single question: which UK firms have just crossed that threshold? It is a status filter, not a time window, so a case stays here for as long as its opening notice remains within our four-week record.

Of the cases gathered here, 91 are winding-up resolutions or orders and 4 are administrations, with London the region appearing most often.
