Know the day a customer goes bust, not the month their invoice bounces.

For a UK company, that The Gazette has published no corporate insolvency notice for it since 15 July 2025, when our records begin; for a French company, none in the BODACC since 10 October 2025; for a Dutch company, that it is not in the Dutch insolvency register now (we cover legal entities, not sole traders or partnerships). It is a fact about published notices, not a credit check: a company can be in trouble long before a notice appears.

UK companies from every corporate insolvency notice in The Gazette, matched to the Companies House number, and French companies from every insolvency judgment in the BODACC, matched to the SIREN, with the date by which a creditor must declare its claim, and Dutch companies from every bankruptcy and suspension of payments in the Centraal Insolventieregister, matched to the KvK number. One watchlist covers all three. Personal insolvency, sole traders and Dutch partnerships are not covered.

The Gazette, the BODACC and the Dutch insolvency register are read every hour, and an alert goes out by email and webhook as soon as a notice for a watched company is matched.

Following is free and a good backstop, but it alerts on filings, which usually come later. We compared 216 companies (September to October 2026): The Gazette published the insolvency first in 161, a median of 8 days before it reached Companies House. Companies House was first in 52, mostly court winding-up orders. A winding-up petition, often the earliest warning, is advertised in The Gazette but rarely reaches Companies House: of 50 petitioned companies we checked, 5 had any filing there. Following also cannot tell you a filing is missing: we alert when a watched company's accounts or confirmation statement go overdue, a strike-off is proposed, a director resigns or an owner steps down. A watchlist also takes your whole customer list in one upload.

No. A members' voluntary liquidation, where the directors declared the company can pay its debts in full, is labelled a solvent liquidation and reported as insolvent: false, even though The Gazette prints the same headings as for an insolvent one.
