Small businesses have welcomed new legislation aimed at curbing late payments, calling it a historic moment. The King’s Speech introduced measures that empower the Small Business Commissioner to investigate and fine firms that consistently delay payments. The Late Payments Bill enforces a maximum payment term of 60 days and mandates interest for late payments at 8% above the Bank of England’s base rate.

Responding to yesterday King’s Speech, Tina McKenzie, Policy Chair of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), said “The formal commitment to legislation to stamp out late payments is an historic moment for small firms, who have spent years battling a culture of poor payment practices by big businesses towards their smaller suppliers. FSB worked closely with the Government to help shape these law changes and we’re grateful ministers have listened to the voice of small businesses.

“Late payment destroys thousands of viable small firms a year, damages growth, hits confidence, and keeps hardworking business owners up at night wondering how they will cover wages, bills, and tax payments. For too long, large businesses have used small suppliers as a free overdraft. That’s why FSB has fought hard for these changes and worked in partnership with the Government to make them happen.

Latest data from the Bank of England has found that loan defaults have risen to 6.2% in early 2026, the highest since late 2024 (7.8 per cent), when the UK had seen several hikes in interest rates.

Unsecured lending defaults hit 18.6% in Q1 this year, the highest figure since the last quarter of 2023. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is raising costs, leading to concerns about future defaults.

Lenders reported that demand for secured lending for house purchase was unchanged in Q1 (up until the end of February) following the Autumn Budget, but and was expected to increase in Q2 (March-May). Demand for secured lending for remortgaging increased in Q1 and was also expected to increase in Q2.

There was minimal change regarding consumer demand for unsecured lending, which remained unchanged in Q1 and is expected to remain so in Q2.

Damien Burke, Head of Regulatory Practice at Broadstone, said “The latest Credit Conditions Survey suggests a cautiously improving outlook for the mortgage market at the start of the year, with lenders expecting demand to pick up in the coming months, particularly for house purchases and remortgaging. This reflects a degree of pent-up demand as home buyers awaited lower interest rates and a more certain fiscal landscape.

“However, the timing of the survey is important given it was conducted around the beginning of the conflict in the Middle East. The longer uncertainty around the wider global economic consequences lingers, the bigger the impact on borrower confidence is likely to be.

“The fall-out from the Ukraine conflict on inflation and mortgage rates remains fresh in the minds of households and even short-term disruption to supply chains can have a long-term impact on the cost of goods. This further amplifies the need for understanding consumer’s individual affordability when assessing for credit products and the benefit of ongoing assessment.

“The continued stability in unsecured lending demand also highlights a more measured consumer backdrop, with households remaining cautious about taking on additional debt despite some easing in financial pressures.”

Latest Red Flag Alert research from Begbies Traynor has revealed a considerable 43.8% year-on-year increase in ‘critical’ financial distress in Q4 2025.

Throughout 2025, UK businesses continued to grapple with a prolonged period of economic uncertainty, rising operating costs driven by inflation and higher wages, increased tax burdens, elevated interest rates, and weakened consumer demand. The persistence of these pressures into 2026 is increasing the possibility that tens of thousands of ‘zombie’ companies will fail.

As of 31 December 2025, 67,369 companies were in ‘critical’ financial distress, a 21.3% rise on the previous quarter (Q3 2025: 55,530). Notably, this rise in ‘critical’ distress was widespread, with all of the 22 sectors monitored by Red Flag Alert reporting a deterioration in financial health when compared to the same period last year.

Consumer-facing industries, which are heavily reliant on discretionary spending, have been particularly badly affected following weaker than expected consumer spending during the crucial ‘Golden Quarter’ over Christmas last year. Leisure & Cultural Activities (+59.1%), Hotels & Accommodation (+53.7%) and Bars & Restaurants (+39.0%) saw some of the steepest increases in ‘critical’ financial distress over the last 12 months.

Meanwhile, the number of businesses in ‘significant’ financial distress continued to climb in 20 out of 22 sectors tracked by Red Flag Alert in 2025, albeit at a slower rate than previously experienced. There was an 11.3% year-on-year increase to 728,640 firms (Q3 2024: 654,765), following just a 0.3% increase from 726,594 in Q3 2025. In 2025, the highest annual increases were seen in the Real Estate & Property (+23.5%), Utilities (+17.8%) and Leisure & Cultural Activities (+14.2%) sectors.

New data analysis by Growth Flag has highlighted that thousands of UK firms projected to deliver strong growth next year are already showing signs of financial strain.

The research, which analysed more than 4.3 million UK businesses, found a shrinking pipeline of firms achieving strong growth and a widening base of companies under pressure. Just nine per cent of UK firms are expected to grow by 20 per cent or more in 2026. This is down from 16% of businesses in last year’s analysis.

The report identifies 47,600 high-growth potential businesses already showing early distress signals, equivalent to almost one in ten of the strongest performing companies in the country. Rather than distress being concentrated solely among weaker enterprises, the data suggests financial strain is now spreading into segments historically associated with resilience, investment and productivity uplift.

In total, 726,594 UK companies are exhibiting early indicators of distress, with the proportion of firms in critical distress rising 78 per cent year-on-year, led by ongoing pressure in construction, hospitality, retail and parts of the creative industries. Rising costs, sluggish demand recovery, labour shortages and increased debt exposure are identified as key drivers.

The picture is compounded by a weakening pipeline of new firms, with new business registrations falling six per cent over the past year. Growth Flag’s analysis suggests cautious sentiment among entrepreneurs, reflecting uncertainty around costs, access to finance and operating conditions.

Despite these challenges, the report finds 1.9 million businesses forecast to achieve positive growth and 372k forecast to achieve high growth, highlighting the importance of early intervention and targeted support to ensure viable scaling firms can navigate market volatility, maintain liquidity and protect jobs..

The business insolvencies consisted of 301 compulsory liquidations, 1,592 creditors’ voluntary liquidations (CVLs), 119 administrations and 17 company voluntary arrangements (CVAs). There were no receivership appointments.

On 1 November 2025, the Insolvency Service moved to a new case management system, with ISCIS being phased out in the last week of October 2025.

The number of CVAs in October 2025 was the same as in September 2025 and 42% higher than in October 2024. Numbers remain low compared to historical levels. CVAs are not seasonally adjusted due to low volumes.
