About
About The Insolvency Directory
The Insolvency Directory is a UK personal-insolvency directory and information site. We help people find regulated insolvency practitioners and debt specialists, and we publish clear guides on IVAs, bankruptcy, Debt Relief Orders, Debt Management Plans and related options. We are a directory and referral service — not an insolvency practice, law firm, or debt-advice charity.
In England and Wales, personal insolvency solutions include IVAs, bankruptcy and Debt Relief Orders. Different rules apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Frequently asked questions
- Do you give debt advice?
- No. We provide general information and introductions to regulated firms. For personal advice, contact MoneyHelper, StepChange, National Debtline, Citizens Advice, or a licensed practitioner.
- Where does firm data come from?
- Directory listings are built from official-register sources such as the Insolvency Service, professional bodies and Companies House, then enriched carefully. We do not invent firms or ratings.
- Is the service free for consumers?
- Browsing the directory and using our guides is free. Matched consultations are offered by firms on their own terms — many offer free initial conversations.
- How do firms appear on the site?
- Firms appear from public register data. They may claim a profile to publish contact details and receive introductions after verification. Claiming is free; introductions are pay-as-you-go.
- Which nations do you cover?
- We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, with dedicated pages explaining where the law differs.
