Covid 19 has taken a toll on all businesses as the globe spiraled into lockdown. Because of this, bankruptcies and closures caused a lot of retail declines.
In the first half of 2020, BDO USA reported that at least over 20 big retailers have filed for bankruptcy protection until August. Also reported is that bankrupt retailers have closed almost 6,000 stores just before 2021. The majority of the closed-down stores were of the apparel businesses. A commodity that consumers found less important as they have been staying indoors for the most part of 2020.
A lot of these retailers are still keeping their websites up and running, encouraging consumers who are stuck up at home to order online instead. But it is unclear what kind of demand they are seeing for items such as apparel and home goods.
On the other hand, retailers such as Walmart and Costco have experienced an increase in demand. Essentials such as food, medicine, and cleaning supplies have seen a surge in demand due to the pandemic.
Bankruptcy doesn’t necessarily mean out of business. It’s just that the pandemic has been destructive in all angles for most retail industries. And with the destruction, businesses are forced to remodel and be able to pick themselves up from the sudden decline.
In the US, there is Chapter 11 or the Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 11 is typically used to reorganize a business, which may be a corporation, sole proprietorship, or partnership. A case filed under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code is frequently referred to as a “reorganization” bankruptcy. This version of bankruptcy gives the debtor a fresh start.
