Insolvency Service

The Insolvency Service is an executive agency sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. It administers bankruptcies and debt relief orders; looks into the affairs of companies in liquidation and makes reports of any director misconduct; and investigates trading companies and takes action to wind them up and/or disqualify the directors if there is evidence of misconduct. Content on the GOV.UK site includes guidance, consultations and registers of disqualified directors and individuals.
