Voluntary corporate insolvency rose in the second quarter of 2012, amid a general climate of falling numbers of insolvencies of both corporate and personal types.
Figures from the Insolvency Service show 1,040 compulsory company liquidations in Q2, a 13.9% quarterly drop and a year-on-year fall of 18.7%.
Creditors’ voluntary liquidations totalled 3,075, a modest quarterly rise of 0.4% and an annual increase of 4.6%.
Meanwhile, other corporate insolvencies – including 352 company voluntary arrangements – stood at 1,310 including receiverships and administrations, a 6.3% rise year-on-year.
The figures demonstrate that company liquidation is increasingly being entered into either voluntarily by the company involved, or with the agreement of its creditors.
