UK company accounts in June 2026: 125,849 published, 18.4% in deficit
Every set of accounts Companies House published in June 2026, read and summarised in one place: 125,849 across 6 publishing days.
Companies House published 125,849 sets of company accounts across the 6 publishing days Cap News collected in June, 20 June to 30 June. 22,776 of the 123,924 with a readable balance sheet reported liabilities larger than assets, 18.4 per cent. One day dominated: Tuesday 30 June, with 34,696 sets, 28 per cent of the month on its own.
Measured against their own prior year, 36,082 filings were weaker and 66,445 stronger, so 35.2 per cent of those with a comparable year went backwards.
The share in deficit ran from 16.9 per cent on 24 June to 19.4 per cent on 20 June.
Most of the month's accounts were for years ending in September 2025 (59,310 sets, 47 per cent of those with a period end), followed by March 2026.
Among industries with at least 300 filings in the month, unlicensed restaurants and cafes had the highest share in deficit, 35.0 per cent of 809.

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. How the figures are produced is on the method page.
