Company distress by sector
Different industries fail for different reasons, and understanding the specific pressures in your sector helps you spot trouble early and choose the right route. Construction is squeezed by fixed-price contracts and retentions, hospitality by rent and energy, recruitment by the gap between paying workers weekly and being paid by clients monthly, and so on. The formal options, Time to Pay, a CVA, administration or liquidation, are the same across sectors, but how and when to use them is shaped by the way your industry handles cash, contracts and assets. These pages cover the distress drivers and rescue options for the sectors where directors most often ask us for help.
