New Enterprises Outpace Failures Amid Business Slump
The report shows business failures rising 10 percent year over year with 300 plus firms folding weekly. Most failures involve liabilities of 5 000 to 25 000 and New York leads in losses while prior years’ casualty rates remain lower than 1939. Younger firms suffer more, while older businesses form a growing share of failures. The underlying causes remain lack of experience and insufficient sales, with manufacturing as the sole sector not slowing its rise.
