– A thought provoking

Regional Director of NHO Nordland, Ivar Kristiansen, says that the figures for England is an eye-opener.

– I am surprised that Nordland evolves so negative, compared with other counties. But generally speaking, it lower equity in companies and in industry in Northern Norway compared to the rest of the country, and this has been the status of long, Kristiansen says.

– While there is a general “slowdown »in the economy now, and people are more cautious with money, he said.

Further notes Kristiansen the big companies in Nordland industry goes very well and that the export industry is going very well.

– Nordland also develops among the best country in terms of unemployment figures, Kristiansen says.

NHO boss says he has some good explanations why Nordland going so badly in terms of number of bankruptcies so far this year

But he points out the following:

– If the equity is low, and when the butter opposed as it has done in the Norwegian economy, it is easy to go over. It is the most probable explanation.

– It is also much less claim to establish business now than before, and the demands of equity is greatly reduced today compared with a few years ago, says Kristiansen.

– One could imagine the question of whether it has become too easy, he adds.

Do not be signs of disease

– It is not certain that this is something insanity, but it is a warning to people who establish themselves on having a healthy equity of space and a good buffer, before arriving in time, he said.

In conclusion says NHO boss that Nordland is still below the national average on startups.

– We must still have a good press, says Ivar Kristiansen.

What is the difference?

A bankruptcy is opened when a person or a company is unable to meet its obligations or when the share capital is exhausted.

A compulsory liquidation occurs when a company has notified the resolution, but did not sign the final deletion of Enterprises. Alternatively, if a company after several reminders not report their directors, chairman, CEO and auditor. A company may also be forced to liquidate if not submitting accounts.
