Name at least three consequences of excessive debt

Business
1 answer:

Answer:     Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is likely the most extreme danger of excessive business debt. In a sole proprietorship, your business finances are not separate from your individual finances, meaning you could face personal bankruptcy. For other common business set-ups, if you cannot meet the repayment requirements of your lenders, they may eventually force you into bankruptcy. This typically means the end of your business, or at least the end of your ownership. Your business assets may be seized to allow creditors to recover some of their money.

Limited Flexibility

High debt leverage is less severe than bankruptcy but often a signal of impending doom. This means you have too much debt and your debt ratios show difficulty keeping up with your short-term and long-term debt obligations. This makes you susceptible to late fees, default and eventually bankruptcy. It also makes your business unattractive to prospective lenders or creditors. This gives you limited flexibility to find new financing or to buy new equipment or supplies on credit. New investors may also have concerns about your high debt.

Poor Profits

Even if your business stays afloat, too much debt leverage makes profitability difficult to achieve. Your business has fixed monthly expenses for building costs and labor. You also have variable costs of production or operations and sales. When you add high monthly principal and interest payments, bringing in enough revenue to make substantial profits becomes unlikely. Plus, if you cannot pay down debt quickly, you carry it longer and pay more in interest over time. Without profit or funding sources, you also cannot expand or grow your business.

What is the opportunity cost?
Svetllana [295]

Opportunity costs represent the potential benefits an individual, investor, or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. The idea of opportunity costs is a major concept in economics. Because by definition they are unseen, opportunity costs can be easily overlooked if one is not careful.

Examples of Opportunity Cost. Someone gives up going to see a movie to study for a test in order to get a good grade. The opportunity cost is the cost of the movie and the enjoyment of seeing it. ... The opportunity cost of taking a vacation instead of spending the money on a new car is not getting a new car.

First of all, because there is no set manager, the owner probably does not know what the company is doing so, he will probably give it to you for a small price. After buying the company, you should first inquire about the employees (what can they do, what expirience etc.) After inquiring about the employees you need to promote the most expriienced and best employee as a manager. Because they have expirience, they will know who goes where.


I hope this helps.
