As both the UK and Irish Governments release funds and loans for the Construction industry to avoid business closure and loss of jobs during the Coronavirus crisis, Bell & Company have seen Construction Firm Debt Advice enquiries and “chatter” increase recently.
The pandemic has meant that many firms have had to stop construction projects. With the prospect of reopening sites and fulfilling projects, the fear of supply chains and cash flow issues worry the longevity of many firms.
Government shut down of whole sectors of the economy is having a profound impact, especially those within the construction industry.
With output expected to drop by 70% in Q.2, the lack of work billed could lead to a decline of circa £30 billion in cash feeding through the supply chain by Q.3, a recent forecast has reported.
As sites restart, firms could then face a wait of around 60 days to receive payment on new work.
Cash Flow Issues are a Main Trigger of Insolvency in Construction Companies.
Construction is one of a handful of industries that typically experiences a lag in times of economic recovery. This is due to the inherent delay between the initial upturn in confidence in the wider economy, and the re-opening or start of construction projects. Especially now, with the prospect of phased social distancing policies being introduced. Capacity will impact on the viability of any firm.
