It is not a paradox, if during the first three months of the health crisis in France, the number of business failures was significantly reduced compared to the same period of 2019. The various support measures taken in favor companies during the spring, enabled a number of professionals, especially the small and medium firms, to resist the first economic consequences of the pandemic. These measures, however, are only temporary and many will not be able to repay the advances and deferrals made. The forecasts for insolvency proceedings are therefore not good. The most pessimistic point to a foreseeable crossing of the annual bar of 100,000 failures in 2021 and 2022 agains’t around 55,000 in “normal” times.
