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. 13% are under three years old, against 30% across all sectors.

How old they are

All sectors
  • Under 3 years 13%
  • 3 to 9 years 25%
  • 10 to 19 years 19%

1.6% 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.
