Of the 7,083 companies formed in the CT postcode area between January 2022 and September 2023 at their own address, 54% were still on the register three years later and 35% had filed trading accounts (UK: 51% and 35%). Most of the rest never traded: they missed their first confirmation statement and were struck off at about seventeen months.
