United Kingdom insolvency data — questions

Where does Emptera's United Kingdom insolvency data come from?
Directly from The Gazette / Companies House, the official register. We publish no data that is not already public there, and the source is credited on every United Kingdom company page under Open Government Licence v3.0.
How many insolvent companies from United Kingdom are in Emptera?
5,104 companies, covering 2026-08-04 to 2026-09-11. 4,523 were added in the last 30 days.
How often is United Kingdom updated?
Daily. Emptera re-reads The Gazette / Companies House on a schedule, so a company that enters liquidation and administration appears in the feed the day the register records it.
Does Emptera publish personal data about United Kingdom business owners?
No. Sole traders and other natural persons are filtered out before anything is published — we index companies, not people. Company data (legal name, registration number, court, registered office) is legal-entity information and outside the scope of the GDPR under Recital 14.
United Kingdom is live.

Official public sources only, company-level data, hosted in the EU — and cross-border matching against the rest of Europe from day one.
