What happened to Inspired Loans Ltd
Companies House records show that Inspired Loans Ltd entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation in November 2021.
When a financial advice firm enters liquidation, it usually means the firm cannot meet claims made against it. In these situations, customers who suffered losses may be able to seek compensation through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme instead.
Inspired Loans Ltd was later declared in default by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme on 17 March 2026 for investment related claims. This means the Financial Services Compensation Scheme has confirmed that the firm is unable to meet claims itself and eligible customers may now be able to pursue compensation through the scheme.

Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)
If the firm that advised you has entered liquidation or is no longer trading, you may be able to claim compensation through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme is a government-backed scheme that compensates consumers when authorised financial firms have failed and cannot pay claims against them.
Inspired Loans Ltd has been declared in default by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme for investment claims, which means eligible customers may now be able to seek compensation through the scheme.
