UK Risk and Insolvency Report

Measuring the current economic climate and its impact upon UK industries

The UK economy has experienced a long period of stability but we are now in a very turbulent period, risk scores alone will not reflect this as they do not account for what is happening NOW in the economy. This product provides MONTHLY results showing which sectors and regions are improving and worsening and to what degree. Use this high frequency data to gain insights into the fast changing risk of UK corporate sectors and UK regions and to enhance your interpretation of individual company risk scores in this turbulent period.

Daily Telegraph

Insolvencies 'to rise 20pc' as number of court cases over unpaid bills soars
"County court judgments are seen as an "early indicator" of corporate distress and rising insolvencies alongside late payment of invoices, which experts said had also increased. Prof Nick Wilson of the Credit Management Research Centre (CMRC) at Leeds University Business School, said that in some sectors, such as retail, property, transport and business services, the number of county court judgments had increased 'fivefold' over the past two years."
