6 Companies in Danger of Bankruptcy

Companies filing for bankruptcy is unfortunately a familiar occurrence these days. Whether it’s due to an anemic economy and low customer demand, high pension costs, or rising commodity costs, many businesses around the country risk bankruptcy if they don’t act fast. According to data collected from GovernanceMetrics International, the following companies have a large probability of financial distress. This list should serve as a reminder for companies in similar situations to consult a Las Vegas bankruptcy attorney.
