The number of companies that went bankrupt due to the effects of the new coronavirus reached 1860 by the 3rd.
The trend has continued to increase since the beginning, and the research company has pointed out that the extension and expansion of the state of emergency may further increase bankruptcies, especially in restaurants.
According to the summary of the credit bureau "Teikoku Databank", companies that went bankrupt due to the effects of the new corona virus, or companies that stopped their businesses and started preparing for legal restructuring, are sole proprietors. Including, the cumulative total from February to 3rd last year was 1860.
By industry, "restaurants" accounted for the largest number at 311 companies, "construction / construction business" at 185 companies, "hotels / inns" at 101 companies, and "food wholesalers" at 97 companies.
In the months when bankruptcies occurred, March was the largest with 177 companies, followed by April with 168 companies, and the number has continued to increase.
Teikoku Databank said, "With the bankruptcy of restaurants, etc., there are an increasing number of cases where businesses that undertake repair and construction of stores go bankrupt in a chain reaction. The state of emergency was extended and expanded during the summer leisure season. So, it may lead to a further increase in bankruptcies in the future. "
