Suppliers usually spot trouble when invoices age, not when balance sheets start to lean the wrong way. At 31 August, 13,360 UK limited companies carried RecoupIQ’s capital-bleed flag. Across that cohort, the average siphon-risk score was 0.90, based on RecoupIQ’s capital-bleed signal. That matters because public filing patterns can harden before a payment problem reaches your ledger. In the Insolvency Service Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25, the agency said it tackles wrongdoing and supports firms in distress. For creditors and owner-managers, this signal offers an earlier read on balance-sheet pressure using published UK records.
“Our role is to deliver economic confidence by tackling financial wrongdoing and supporting those in financial distress.”, Insolvency Service, UK Insolvency Service (corporate statement, Annual Report 2024-25), in the Insolvency Service Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 (2025-07-15). The standout public-record feature here is scale in the filed-account population. The flagged population reached 13,360 companies by 31 August, and the group’s average siphon-risk score was 0.90. That combination tells creditors the cohort is both large and concentrated in a severe band under this signal.

Public records show financial distress weeks before credit rating agencies update. Select your situation to see the specific legal risks and what to verify before funds or work leave your hands:
Trigger: Your invoice is 7 to 30 days overdue. Emails are bouncing or promises to pay keep slipping.
High Court winding-up petitions are presented 14 to 30 days before public registers show liquidation. Once a winding-up order is made, trade creditors recover an average of £0.02 on the pound.
Verify live London Gazette winding-up notices, active strike-off proposals, and debenture registrations before you lose statutory priority.
