The last thing that any company wants to experience is financial hardship. This is something that can happen to any company at any given time. However, when it comes to insolvency, there are a few industries that can be more susceptible to this problem than others. This is due to some factors that are, at times, out of their control. Principle Insolvency is here to talk about what makes these industries more at risk than others of financial hardship and insolvency.
Agriculture
Those that are in the agriculture/farming business are more at risk of insolvency than other industries. This is generally due to the fact that something like a virus or illness can come in and wipe out an entire herd of cattle. This can be devastating for any farmer. This is why it is so important that those in the agriculture industry do an excellent job of financial planning. They have to always think about the unthinkable and plan for it. The last thing that you would want is some sort of devastation like an illness to come and destroy your livelihood.
Retail
Sometimes, the retail business can be a cutthroat industry. There are online stores that are swooping in and destroying retail stores all throughout the country. It isn’t just happening here either. Retail around the world suffers from online retailers. Unfortunately, that is the way that things seem to be going. Before getting into any retail business, you need to consider ways to keep the customers and clients engaged with the idea of coming in and handling your product before purchasing it. You can create tailored user experiences, that can’t be replicated by these larger retailers. Make the experience more personable and something that your customers and clients will be drawn to.
Food Service / Hospitality
The profit margins for the food service and hospitality industries are extremely thin. If you are importing anything into your restaurant, the margins are even thinner. You need to be able to manage cash flow expectations and still take care of those that you employ. This can be a difficult thing to juggle. This is why so many restaurants and bed and breakfasts end up failing. This is an industry that can be incredibly competitive as well. You are constantly trying to draw in clients while your neighbor is trying to do the same. Finding something that is uniquely yours seems to be one of the only options to give you the leg up.
