Companies still on the register, by the year they were incorporated. 2026 is the year to date. Companies dissolved since are not counted, so earlier years understate how many were formed. 28% are under three years old, against 30% across all sectors.

How old they are

Health & social care
All sectors
  • Under 3 years 28%
  • 3 to 9 years 41%
  • 10 to 19 years 24%
  • 20 years or more 7.2%

6.1% carry a proposal to strike off (7.3% across all sectors). That is mostly dormant companies being removed, so it is not counted as insolvency.
