Note: We report the business and non-business personal insolvency statistics based on the number of debtors, not the number of administrations. We treat insolvency proceedings involving two or more partners as one administration. The business and non-business statistics will generally be higher than statistics based on administrations, the quarterly personal insolvency statistics.
