Faint bars: the projected periods. Whiskers: the range about two in three outcomes land in. A projection, not a promise.
Palanor count from Companies House Basic Company Data, the monthly snapshot of every live body on the register: companies, limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships, charitable incorporated organisations and overseas entities. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Companies House strikes companies off in Gazette batches, so single months swing.
The exit side of the UK company register, month by month: companies dissolved after being struck off, voluntarily or by Companies House, or after liquidation.
