Most accounts cover years ending January 2026
8,352 sets, 41 per cent of those stating a period, were for years ending in January 2026. March 2026 accounted for 3,034; February 2026 accounted for 2,232. A further 1,481 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.
