Companies House signal board

UK Business Stress Index

A live Companies House pulse for company dissolutions, incorporations, sector pressure and local registered-office hotspots. This is not a company directory; it is a business-churn signal for the wider decline dashboard.

What churn signal means

What churn signal means

When dissolutions outrun incorporations, net churn is negative: the UK is losing registered companies faster than it creates them. Sector and local geography panels show where pressure is concentrated.

How fresh is the data

The snapshot is refreshed daily-ready from the Companies House advanced search API. The date shown in the status strip above reflects the last successful fetch.

Local geography filter

Postcode districts are filtered to remove formation agents, virtual offices and admin clusters. CF14 (Companies House HQ, Crown Way Cardiff) is always excluded from the map.

Registered-office churn map

Outcode means the first part of a postcode: for example CF14 or EC1V. These rows compare dissolved companies with new companies registered in the same registered-office postcode district. Map points use postcodes.io outcode centroids and show region-balanced clean postcode districts, not exact trading addresses. Companies House records the registered office, so UK Decline filters out formation agents, accountants, virtual-office clusters and admin artefacts before publishing a clean local signal.
