A total of 124 companies registered in Knowsley were struck off the official company register in the 90 days to early June 2026, according to Companies House records. Over the same period, 113 new companies were incorporated in the borough.
The figures give a snapshot of churn in the local economy: businesses closing and starting at a broadly similar rate, with closures running just ahead of new registrations.
The data comes from the Companies House register, the public record of every company in the UK. The counts here are drawn from an address search filtered to Knowsley postcodes, so the totals reflect that filtering and should be read as an order of magnitude rather than an exact list.
A dissolved company is not the same as a failed one. Many dissolutions are voluntary strike-offs, where owners close a company that is dormant, no longer trading or no longer needed, rather than insolvencies. The register records that a company has been removed; it does not record why.
The 113 new incorporations over the same window show businesses are still being set up in the borough. Companies House does not, in this snapshot, break the figures down by sector, so it is not yet possible to say which trades dominate either the closures or the new starts.
Anyone can check the status of a company, including the date and type of dissolution, free of charge on the Companies House register. Updated figures will show whether closures or new registrations pull ahead over the rest of the year.
