Understanding wholesale & retail insolvencies

Wholesale, retail and motor trade businesses sell physical goods on tight margins and live or die by footfall, online demand and stock management. Retailers carry inventory, lease premises and often pay suppliers before the goods sell.

Most failures in this sector come from a squeeze on cash: weak consumer spending, the cost of leases and staff, and stock that does not sell at full price. The shift to online, rising costs and a single bad trading season can each tip a retailer or wholesaler into insolvency.

Who should monitor wholesale & retail insolvencies

Suppliers and wholesalers

Retailers owe large trade balances, so a failure can mean significant bad debt.

Landlords and shopping centres

A tenant's insolvency leaves voids and unpaid rent.

Acquirers and buyers

Distressed retailers release brands, stock and store portfolios.
