3,390 company bankruptcies in the first nine months of 2016
Compared to the same period of the previous year (as of September 2016), there were significantly more new start-ups. Unfortunately, there was also a nationwide increase in bankruptcy proceedings of around three percent. Regional differences still exist with regard to the number of company bankruptcies registered by Bisnode.
556 insolvent companies in the canton of Zurich, an increase of three percent: this means that bankruptcies in Zurich have developed in the same way as in Switzerland as a whole. In total, bankruptcy proceedings were opened against 3,390 companies due to insolvency. The number of company bankruptcies rose particularly sharply in Italian- and French-speaking Switzerland and in eastern Switzerland.
By contrast, bankruptcies in central Switzerland and the Espace Mittelland region declined significantly. New entries in the commercial register amounted to 30,576 companies. This represents an increase of two percent compared to the same period last year. Of the major regions, only Ticino recorded a decline.
