Write-offs by banks to the sector of legal, accountancy and other unincorporated firms totalled £264m in the year to September 2013, according to an analysis by Syscap. In 2009, the write-offs totalled just slightly less - £259m. The high mark was in 2010 (£315m). It then declined in 2011 (£292m) and again in 2012 (£278m).
Relatively good performance
