Many company and business operations are being adversely disrupted at an unprecedented level. Disruptions include misguided or uninformed consumer perceptions, and the tangible effects that are largely still being realised to its full extent. This disruption can obviously cause financial difficulties and increased pressure to business owners/directors. Worrells is urging businesses experiencing financial challenges to get professional assistance early from qualified and professional insolvency practitioners.
Worrells recent appointments to various businesses facing financial difficulties as a result of business disruption ensuing from China, includes several renowned Chinese restaurants in Sydney. Alex Siu, a senior manager at Worrells Sydney said, “many businesses are struggling in the wake of the coronavirus. Enquiries are increasing from business owners who are experiencing a decrease in patronage since the outbreak, or whose supply chains have been disrupted.”
“If this trend continues, it is likely that more businesses in Australia will be affected and not just in the hospitality sector. All fish exports are now banned and therefore trade is impeded for those businesses and any ancillary businesses. Tourism, manufacturing, and retail businesses with supply chains reliant on China or Chinese businesses will be impacted. It’s just the unfortunate question of when.”
