Questions
Checking a company
How do I check if a UK company is in liquidation?
Search the company above by name or Companies House number. If The Gazette has published a corporate insolvency notice for it, you see the stage, the date and a link to every official notice. The official sources are The Gazette and Companies House; this check reads both for you.
How do I check if a company is in administration?
The same search. An administration appears as its own stage, with the date the appointment of administrators was published in The Gazette. Administration is not liquidation: the company keeps trading under the administrators while they look for a rescue or a sale.
Does "no notice" mean the company is safe?
No. It means The Gazette has published no corporate insolvency notice for it since 15 July 2025, when our records begin. A company can be in trouble long before a notice appears, so treat this as one check, not a credit assessment.
Is a liquidation always an insolvency?
No. In a members' voluntary liquidation the directors declare the company can pay its debts in full. The Gazette prints it under the same headings as an insolvent liquidation; this check labels it as a solvent liquidation so it is not mistaken for one.
