When to Consider Business Bankruptcy

There are typically many warning signs that a business is or may soon be in serious financial trouble. These can include the following:

  • You are not paying withholding taxes in order to retain cash needed to operate the business;
  • You are stretching your payables out over longer periods of time;
  • Your business incurs a catastrophic loss due to death, casualty, embezzlement, or other event;
  • You are unable to make payments on a secured loan or payments are constantly late; and
  • One or more or more of your major customers is going out of business or filing bankruptcy.
