Volume steady at 9,836
Volume barely moved from the day before, when 10,075 sets were published. The same day a week earlier brought 8,214, so this was 20 per cent more than that. The share in deficit, 17.2 per cent, sat close to its usual 16.8. Against their own prior year, 2,385 filings were weaker and 5,091 stronger, a mix close to normal.
London stands out by registered office
London registered offices accounted for 1,897 filings, 450 of them in deficit (24 per cent, against 20.7 per cent in the town's earlier filings). An accountant or formation agent at one address can move a town's figure.
| Town | Filings | In deficit | Usually |
|---|---|---|---|
| London | 1,897 | 24% | 20.7% |
| Glasgow | 133 | 24% | 16.9% |
| Edinburgh | 51 | 6% | 16.8% |
| Bristol | 91 | 9% | 16.7% |
Most accounts cover years ending December 2025
4,029 sets, 41 per cent of those stating a period, were for years ending in December 2025. March 2026 accounted for 1,587; January 2026 accounted for 750. A further 602 covered periods that ended more than a year before the file was published.
A deficit here means the accounts reported net liabilities at the balance sheet date. It is not insolvency, and Companies House does not verify what is filed with it.
