Are one in 10 businesses dying or simply Zombies?

Published: 19/02/2019 By Seb Elledge

A new study has found that 11% of UK Companies are simply paying interest on debts rather than paying the debts themselves.

Thanks to low interest rates at the moment, some companies are able to survive this way in uncertain financial times.

R3 have conducted a study based on 1,200 companies and the findings are staggering. 16% of companies have to negotiate payments terms with creditors whilst 12% were unable to pay their debts as and when they fell due (rendering them “cash- flow” insolvent).
