Business bankruptcy filings are down significantly from their high point during the Great Recession. Some reports have corporate bankruptcies down nearly 70% from 2010. There is no shortage of speculation as to why this is the case, but all seem to agree that the ready availability of cash from institutional and non-institutional lenders, coupled with interest rates that have remained at all-time lows for years, are allowing even under-performing businesses to stay out of Chapter 11. The days of the main catalyst for business bankruptcies being a lender tightening a credit line or calling a loan due appear to be over, at least for now.
